In the German community of Destiny there is a new movement in April. Smaller Destiny streamers have come together to raise money for dying children.
We are not RealKraftyy, but we want to help
“We are not RealKraftyy, but we want to help,” that would be a way to summarize the idea of “Helli the Hell.” The streamer is 39 and comes from Düsseldorf.
He may not have the reach of the big English-speaking streamers, and there are also larger German streamers who collaborate with Facebook groups or fan pages, but Helli has a mission.
The Düsseldorfer wants to help the local children’s hospice “Regenbogenland” by collecting donations for it in his Destiny stream.
The Regenbogenland cares for terminally ill, multiply disabled, and severely disabled children in Düsseldorf who have only a limited life expectancy. At Regenbogenland, life and joy of living should be the focus. There are playrooms where the siblings of the children can play with the little ones: The children’s hospice should be like a second home, relieving the families of the children.
The hospice is funded 75% by donations. Every euro can help secure the future of the hospice.
In April, “Helli the Hell” decided to donate everything that comes in as money from donations during his stream to the children’s hospice. He knows that people on the internet are often skeptical about such fundraising campaigns, so he says: “If you don’t want to do it through me, donate directly to the children’s hospice.” Here is the website of the Kinderhospiz Regenbogenland.
Helli also wants to send donation receipts issued by the hospice to anyone who provides him with their private address.
Shooting for a good cause, even if the hospice is skeptical
The donation campaign has been running since April 1st, and some other smaller German-speaking streamers like the Team Niederroler from Austria and PanDa_mir have joined the campaign. They are also donating their contributions to the Kinderhospiz Regenbogenland in April.
It is going significantly better than expected. Since the beginning of the month, over 1000€ has already been raised for the hospice, says Helli.
However, the action is not running completely smoothly. The children’s hospice was skeptical when they heard that “shooter players” were donating. They fear it could scare away other donors if they are associated with “violence-glorifying games.” However, there is a compromise: The hospice’s logo will not be displayed in the livestream when Destiny is played.
Mein MMO believes: “Shooting for a good cause” – this may come across a bit strange in public. However, for gamers, this conflict does not exist. Therefore, we are happy to support the campaign.
