Pittsburgh players delivered toys, books and teacher supplies to a daycare center in Pennsylvania in support of a Buffalo Bills player.

Hamlin had a cardiac arrest on the field after a hit during the game. Hamlin is making good progress according to the latest update from the Bills.

Per the physicians at UC Medical Center, Damar is making continued progress in his recovery yet remains in critical condition.

He continues to breathe on his own and his neurological function is excellent.

The second-year pro is from the Pittsburgh metropolitan area. The Bills selected him with a sixth-round draft pick in 2020.

As of Saturday, Hamlin's Chasing M's Foundation had received over $8.2 million in donations. There is an hour and a half later. The foundation's stated goal was to give toys to the children at the daycare center where his mother works.

This week has seen an increase in love and support for Hamlin and his foundation and many members of the NFL community are getting involved.

He is no exception to this.

Levi Wallace told Teresa Varley of steelers.com that it was a way that they could give back.

He loves his community and he wants to give back to it. To honor him and show our love for him, we're doing it here in Pittsburgh.

I think it comes from a place of gratitude. I've seen how hard he works on and off the field and so I'm here to help.
