Long before Buffalo Bills player Damar Hamlin went into cardiac arrest during Monday night’s NFL game against the Cincinnati Bengals, he was behind a 2020 GoFundMe campaign to raise money for a holiday toy drive in his hometown of McKees Rocks, Pa. His goal? A modest $2,500.
In a tweet posted Monday evening, GoFundMe acknowledged the unusual situation, saying of Hamlin’s campaign: “Following his injury on the field tonight, fans across the country are showing their support for him and his family by donating to his fundraiser.”“Prayers for Damar Hamlin from a Bills Fan from Switzerland. Get well soon, Damar!” wrote one. “The world is behind your recovery,” said another.
Jordon Rooney, a spokesperson for the Hamlin family, said on Twitter that those who want to support Hamlin can contribute to the toy-drive GoFundMe campaign, noting that the money raised will go to Hamlin’s foundation, which also funds other community efforts. Rooney advised people not to contribute to any other GoFundMe campaigns supposedly set up on Hamlin’s behalf.
