Russell Wilson and Ciara donate $10,000 to Damar Hamlin’s toy drive

Though he is on a different team and over 1,500 miles away, Denver Broncos’ quarterback Russell Wilson made a contribution to something that is bigger than football.

During the Monday night game between the Buffalo Bills and the Cincinnati Bengals, Bills safety Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field after making a tackle. During this scary time, Hamlin received life-saving measures and is now in critical condition inside of UC Medical Center in Cincinnati.

Almost immediately, prayers, letters and well-wishes from across the nation flooded in to the injured Hamlin. Donations from several prominent NFL superstars made their way to Hamlin’s “The Chasing M’s Foundation Community Toy Drive” GoFundMe page.

Wilson and his wife Ciara personally donated $10,000 towards this charitable cause, which is just a fraction of the outpouring of support towards Hamlin. Additionally, the Wilsons donated $3,333 from their “Why Not You Foundation,” in honor of Hamlin’s No. 3 jersey.

Prayers and tributes continue to pour in from all 32 teams as they anxiously await an update on Hamlin’s condition.
