A fundraiser set up by Damar Hamlin has received more than $3.6 million in donations since the Buffalo Bills safety collapsed on the field during 'Monday Night Football.'
Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin was in critical condition after suffering cardiac arrest and receiving CPR on the field against the Cincinnati Bengals. The game was postponed.Hamlin’s initial goal for the fundraiser was $2,500. An archived version of the GoFundMe page shows it had raisedshortly before his collapse Monday night. But the response since then has been phenomenal, with the fund serving as an outlet for more than 144,000 people looking for a way to express their concern and support.
Hamlin grew up in the Pittsburgh area and attended Central Catholic High School. He wrote on the GoFundMe page that he started the Chasing M’s Foundation as a way of “using my platform to positively impact the community that raised me.” The toy drive was the foundation’s first program and was set up to “positively impact children who have been hardest hit by the pandemic,” he wrote.
The toy drive has become an annual event, with Hamlin and the foundation posting video from 2022 on instagram last week. The toys are distributed through Kelly and Nina’s Daycare Center, which is co-owned by Hamlin’s mother, Nina Hamlin, in McKees Rocks, Pa.
