Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin remains in critical condition as people around the world pray for him. His toy drive charity is nearing the $6 million mark as players around the league are also chipping in with massive amounts.

Both Tom Brady and Russell Wilson have donated $10k each on Hamlin's GoFundMe page. Apart from Wilson and Brady, Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford has also donated $15k. The Washington Commanders have also donated $5k but fans on social media trolled them for it.

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft is the second-highest donor as he has chipped in with $18,003k. A donation from 'Carpet Man Flooring' also equaled $5k, a similar amount to the Washington Commanders, and as a result, the fans took digs at the troubled franchise.

Here's how social media reacted to it:

The Washington Commanders have faced a lot of heat over the years for being cheap and the fans thought they were doing the same thing here as well. The franchise is up for sale and perhaps the new owner will be able to change the public's perception of Washington. Until then, the Commanders are likely to face more of the same kind of criticism.

Damar Hamlin's family have released a statement

Buffalo Bills v Cincinnati Bengals

Damar Hamlin's family recently released a statement as well to thank everyone that has donated to the GoFundMe page. Here's the statement:

"On behalf of our family, we want to express our sincere gratitude for the love and support shown to Damar during this challenging time, We are deeply moved by the prayers, kind words, and donations from fans around the country. "We also want to acknowledge the dedicated first responders and healthcare professionals at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center who have provided exceptional care to Damar. We feel so blessed to be part of the Buffalo Bills organization and have their support."

Everyone is hoping for Damar Hamlin's full recovery, and according to his uncle, Hamlin's health has improved since being admitted to the hospital.

The game between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Buffalo Bills has been postponed and won't be played this week. Everyone's main focus remains on Hamlin as the league approaches Week 18.
