The support for injured Bills player Damar Hamlin seems to know no bounds. NFL fans are donating money to the footballer’s project to provide toys for children. Current total: over 5 million US dollars.

The horror injury to Damar Hamlin shocked the football world.

The Buffalo Bills safety went down and collapsed after a collision with wide receiver Tee Higgins in the game against the Cincinnati Bengals. His heart stopped and the 24-year-old had to be resuscitated and taken to hospital.

His condition there is reported to be critical.

While people are showing their support for Hamlin on social media and outside the hospital, a lot of money is also coming in for one of the player’s projects.
