Excellent news today. He's got a long road to recovery, but hopefully this means that playing again isn't out of the question.

Can't wait until he wakes up and finds out about his GoFundMe. That should make him smile.

![]() As KCUnited mentioned earlier, I hope there are some controls in place or that they'll put them in place pretty quickly. But whatever, that's certainly the least of their worries right now, and I couldn't really care less personally regardless of what happens to it. EDIT: I dug around a bit, and this article is pretty informative. In short, there IS a formally-registered foundation, and GoFundMe also has some controls in place. Good to know.

I was listening to the radio last night and they were talking about how it's more than just overcoming the physical injuries. There is a mental aspect that goes into recovering from injuries and some are more difficult than others. This particular injury is going to take quite a bit of psychological support for him to overcome. Of course, everyone is different, but this level is trauma is probably going to be in the back of his head for a while - what if it happens again - and this all resonates with me as a veteran. This really is akin to being in an IED explosion and waking up in a hospital with assorted injuries. The PTSD of it will need to be delt with and he may never fully recover. I hope he has the strength and support to get back on the field.

I'm not sure he could do that directly. The GoFundMe was set up for a toy drive, and it is certainly not clear that these donations have been made to further that effort, as opposed to helping a man hit with a catastrophic injury. However, he could set up a 401(c) foundation where the mission is to provide toys and other benefits to children, where he is the CEO drawing a salary that would make him comfortable for life.

If Damar can't play again he will have a hefty injury settlement.

But that said, I hope he makes a full recovery and is able to get a nice, fat contract in a few years. He seemed to be solidifying a role. |

It's good to hear the very positive updates on Damar this morning. I hope he continues to make strong improvements as the days go by.
