Fans Rally Around Buffalo Bills' Damar Hamlin After Chilling On-Field Collapse

It didn’t take long for fans to unite in support of Damar Hamlin following his harrowing collapse. As noted by Yahoo! Sports, before joining the NFL, the athlete announced his intentions to give back to his community, having organized a holiday toy drive and GoFundMe page to accept donations. “As I embark on my journey to the NFL, I will never forget where I come from,” Hamlin wrote ahead of his sixth-round selection for the 2021 draft. “I am committed to using my platform to positively impact the community that raised me.” Now, fans are supporting Hamlin by helping the athlete make good on his promise to his community. 

Instead of setting up a new campaign, fans revived the GoFundMe page Hamlin had previously set up, and as of this writing, it had already garnered over $3 million in donations. Before this boost, the page only had a little less than $3000. “We are pulling for your speedy recovery and comfort for your loved one. Love from a Chargers house to your house,” wrote one fan on the page. “In light of what this amazing athlete yet very humble and caring man is going thru I just wanted to do my part to show my support,” penned another.

Some fans camped outside the University of Cincinnati hospital to support the athlete. “Least we could do is come down and pray,” a fan told Fox News Digital. “Reminds you of the humanity of it all.” We’re wishing Hamlin a speedy recovery!
