Once it was found, Bills fans posted links on Reddit and Twitter to show their support for Jackson.

"It started around 11:30 last night, and our donation box just started flooding with donations from Bills fans for Lamar. It's just been overwhelming -- in the best possible way," said Nikki Grizzle of Blessings in a Backpack, whose mission is to provide food on the weekends for elementary school children across America who might otherwise go hungry.
