Prayers For Damar Hamlin Buffalo Bills Player

Watching a Buffalo Bills game Last night.
I was shocked to see a player down!
Lying on his back, to our surprise!
 We hoped, You get up from the ground.
It was more serious then we knew.
 As you were fighting for your life.
As the Nation prayed for you.
Praying you would live, not die.
 Two opposing teams stopped and prayed.
Never witnessed on a football field.
 Compassion and love were shown that day.
As Humanities finest hour, was revealed.


Michael Tor
Since his injury his Toys for Kids
Charity has received Six million
dollars more and is growing
at 6000 dollars an hour.
Please pray for Damar Hamlin
he suffered a serious injury
playing football for the Buffalo
Bills against the Cincinnati Bengals.

A wonderful true story. Last night they said, he was doing much better. They also said, it was a miracle he is doing so great. I hope he will know this was from God and take it to others. God is watching. Hope you are doing better. Have a blessed day...............

That's amazing, Americans are most generous and always have been giving to charities. I know that Damar H. is healing, they took out the tubes and that's the good news, the bad news is that there will not be a game against the Bangals. Eres sympatico, Michael

Hi Harry glad to see you my friend. God answers prayers. His heart stopped twice and he was brought back to life. Today in the game he was sitting with his mom next to him watching the Bills game against the New England Patriots. The players won the game for him and the players all had number 3 his number on their Jerseys in support of him. I hope you are doing much better my friend, I have been praying for a full recovery for you Harry. Thanks for stopping by and I'l will be over to read your latest gems...

Your welcome. I was touched by watching this poor young man fight for his life at 24 years of age. His mom had to watch her son cling to his life and be brought back to life. I can not imagine what she went through. His toy charity has raised from 2500 when he started it to 7 million dollars on his behalf.

I understand how you feel …but who will fund the 735 families in Chicago who lost family? Or the deaths from Fentanyl, that took many from us. Stars can raise cash? I would raise money to block borders . But then, I am no star!)) I got the point of your poem, Michael and your feelings Respect and love, Panagiota

You mentioned all these unfortunate tragedies that are all horrible and bad. We should all take a stand and contribute to helping these families and putting pressure on our elected officials to do something about it.Damar the player who is cling to his life started a toy Charity and raise three million dollars to give toys to the poor children. Since his tragedy which is three days people have donated three million dollars for his cause of providing a toy for a child during the holidays. He gives back to his community and has made a difference in this hellbound world we live in. Thank you for your comment Pangie I feel your frustration...

It really does Tom I have never see them call off an NFL game over an injury. This was a great gesture on their part and it was incredible to see the apposing team kneel in prayer for Damar as he was fighting for his life. One of the greatest acts of humanity to witness. It gives you hope in mankind. Our prayers Tom for Damar I am asking for from my fellow Soupers. Thank you Tom for your thoughtful comment as always...
