WaitForChild a nil value?

donateButton.MouseButton1Down:connect(function(donate)
    if game.Players:FindFirstChild(playerName.Text) then
        local donatePlayer = playerName.Text
        if tonumber(donateAmount.Text) ~= nil then
            if player.leaderstats.Cash.Value >= tonumber(donateAmount.Text) then
                player.leaderstats.Cash.Value = player.leaderstats.Cash.Value - donateAmount.Text
                print(donatePlayer)
                donatePlayer:WaitForChild("leaderstats"):WaitForChild("Cash").Value = donatePlayer.leaderstats.Cash.Value + donateAmount -- ERROR HERE
            end
        end
    end
end)

Player2 11:17:10.187 - Players.Player1.PlayerGui.HUD.DonateFrame.DonateScript:32: attempt to call method 'WaitForChild' (a nil value) 11:17:10.188 - Stack Begin 11:17:10.188 - Script 'Players.Player1.PlayerGui.HUD.DonateFrame.DonateScript', Line 32 11:17:10.189 - Stack End Output says that WaitForChild on a nil value. I have a print(donatePlayer) which prints Player2 but it dosent do the next line saying it cannot WaitForChild as it is apparently a nil value. Anyone got any ideas?
