An online charitable fundraiser set up more than two years ago by Damar Hamlin has received more than $4.1 million in donations since the Buffalo Bills safety collapsed on the field last night on "Monday Night Football."
Hamlin, a sixth-round draft pick out of Pittsburgh in 2021, climbed to his feet after tackling Cincinnati Bengals receiver Tee Higgins, then fell back to the turf and seemed to lose consciousness. He was administered CPR, defibrillated and transported by ambulance to a hospital. The team later said he had suffered "a cardiac arrest" following the tackle and "is currently sedated and listed in critical condition."
The incident played out in front of stunned fans watching at Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati and millions more on national television. Since then, many people have come across a GoFundMe page Hamlin set up in December 2020 to support a Pittsburgh-area toy drive.
