Damar Hamlin's Toy Drive Tops $3m in Donations After Bills Safety's Cardiac Arrest

Fans have rallied to show their support for Damar Hamlin after the Buffalo Bills safety suffered a cardiac arrest on the field against the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday.

Per CNN's Chris Boyette and Nouran Salahieh, an online toy fundraiser set up by Hamlin in 2020 has received more than $3 million in donations since the postponement of Monday's game.

Hamlin originally set up a GoFundMe with a goal of raising $2,500 to buy toys that would be distributed at Kelly and Nina's Daycare Center in his hometown of McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania.

There have been more than 133,000 donations to the GoFundMe account.
