The support for Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin isn’t slowing down one bit.
Not even 24 hours after the terrifying incident that occurred in the game on Monday night, Hamlin’s foundation has received a ton of donations.
In 2020, Hamlin started a charity to raise toys for children, stating, “As I embark on my journey to the NFL, I will never forget where I come from and I am committed to using my platform to positively impact the community that raised me. I created The Chasing M’s Foundation as a vehicle that will allow me to deliver that impact.”
The Chasing M’s Foundation has now received over $4 million in donations as fans, players, coaches, and people from across the country are showing their support to Hamlin in any way possible.
