New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft is joining the NFL community in donating to Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin’s Toy Drive charity in McKees Rocks.
Hamlin collapsed during the Monday Night Football game between the Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals. The team announced the 24-year-old defensive back went into cardiac arrest and had to have his heartbeat restored on the football field.
Players, coaches and fans of both teams looked on in complete distraught as medical officials worked on Hamlin, who was transferred to the UC Medical Center and is now listed in critical condition.
Kraft joined a long line of individuals from all sports that have donated to Hamlin’s charity.
Robert Kraft and the Patriots add $18,003.
Within the Jewish faith, 18 is “chai” and signifies life. The “3” is Damar Hamlin’s number.
Beautiful gesture. https://t.co/drdrCaCiC6 pic.twitter.com/UOJPwTphRO

Lawrence Guy, Myles Bryant and Brian Hoyer are some of the other Patriots players that offered up a donation. Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady has also donated to the charity that’s based in Hamlin’s hometown.
So many simple acts of kindness as the world waits and prays for a positive update on Hamlin’s condition.
