Here are all the people that have donated a significant amount to the toy charity of Bills safety Damar Hamlin.
During the first quarter of the Buffalo Bills Monday Night Football game against the Cincinnati Bengals, Damar Hamlin made a tackle on Cincinnati wide receiver Tee Higgins and then collapsed on the field. CPR was performed on Hamlin prior to the ambulance arriving on the scene and transporting him to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, where he is still in critical condition.
Hours after one of the most terrifying events in NFL history, Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady and Patriots safety Devin McCourty, along with several other NFL players, are donating money and showing their support for Demar Hamlin.
The GoFundMe-powered initiative had an initial goal of raising $2,500 to “positively influence children who have been severely hit by the pandemic.” As of now, the charity has received around $6 Million with players like Tom Brady, Russell Wilson, Matthew Stafford, Andy Dalton, Davante Adams, etc. having donated significant amounts. New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft came up with a whopping $18,003 donation as well.
The family of Hamlin issued a statement thanking everyone for their generous donations and outpouring of support. The family also expressed gratitude to the hospital’s first responders and healthcare personnel who cared for Damar.
The statement read: “We feel so blessed to be part of the Buffalo Bills organization and to have their support, also want to thank Coach [Zac] Taylor and the Bengals for everything they’ve done. Your generosity and compassion mean the world to us. Please keep Damar in your prayers. We will release updates as soon as we have them.” Everyone is praying for the health of Hamlin, and hopefully, he will be able to recover soon.
