It's almost impossible to put a positive spin into Damar Hamlin's life-threatening injury Monday night, but people are coming together in its aftermath.
Hamlin started a toy drive through his Chasing M's Foundation in 2020 that had a goal of $2,500 – it is still active, and since the injury, over $4 million has been donated.

With his jersey now flying off the shelves, Fanatics executive chairman Michael Rubin announced on Tuesday afternoon that all proceeds from his jersey sales will be donated to his foundation. Hamlin spent the night in intensive care and remains in critical condition, the Bills said earlier Tuesday. "We are grateful and thankful for the outpouring of support we have received thus far," the Bills statement read.
