Why does the value "player" keep returning as nil?

The value "player" is supposed to return as the username of the player who hit the part, but it just keeps returning as nil and I don't know why. Any ideas?

local finditems = script.Parent:GetChildren()
for i=1,#finditems do
if finditems[i].Name == "block" then
finditems[i].HumanoidRootPart.Touched:connect(function(hit)
print(finditems[i].coins.Value)
if finditems[i].debounce.Value == false then
finditems[i].debounce.Value = true

local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
player.Status.Credits.Value = player.Status.Credits.Value + finditems[i].coins.Value

local blockanim = finditems[i].Humanoid:LoadAnimation(finditems[i].BlockAnim)
blockanim:Play()
wait(finditems[i].debouncetime.Value)
finditems[i].debounce.Value = false
end
end)
end
end
