A group of Twitch users have banded together to form TheDiscordBoyz, and they’re helping to change the lives of streamers on the platform [via Dexterto].
TheDiscordBoyz are committed to donating large sums of money to those who might need it, but they’re choosing to only donate to those who are creating a positive space on the platform.
kaelanDori, MegaGremlin, Jimbojp, Soul_Claim, PottsieTV, and Majorhapppypants, who also host a podcast together, have become the altruistic group that the gaming community really needed.
Donations doled out by the group so far include a sizeable cash injection to Twitch streamer AbbiStar, who needed eye surgery.
In the clip below, you can see AbbiStar’s reaction to the $2,000 USD donation from TheDiscordBoyzCharities. Warning: it’s wholesome AF as AbbiStar bursts into tears.
The kind podcasters also forked out $1001 to send Twitch streamer Heaven to TwitchCon 2019.
The team are working together to encourage a sense of community and help to pay it forward for those in need in a move that is honestly heartwarming to see.
Keep the love coming, boys!
