Hi, I keep trying to make this video. Every time I make it, I ramble and ramble about things. Let me just get to the point, immediately to the point. I was going to do a live stream in May to raise money for mental health awareness. Something that's very important to me, something that's still very important to me. But over the last few weeks, doing that stream right now, or even in May, is making less and less sense to me. Because while it's still very important, there is something else, very important, but much more immediate happening in the world. So I'm changing plans, shifting gears as it was, and I'm taking that stream. I'm moving it forward a month because I don't want to wait. So next week, on Friday, starting at 5pm, I'm doing a charity stream no longer for mental health. But instead this year, I'm going to be raising money for organizations that feed and close and help people that can't afford to help themselves right now. During this COVID-19 situation, where non-essential businesses are closing down, people are getting laid off, whether it's temporary or who knows, because a lot of businesses, even big businesses like GameStop, we don't know if they're going to be able to afford to open their doors. Which is just so many people out of work. That, I feel, is a much more immediate and important cause right now to be raising money for. It doesn't make sense for me to wait until May to do a charity stream to raise money for something that just doesn't seem as immediate of an issue right this second. I'm not trying to downplay the importance of mental health, which is my biggest reason for rambling in these videos, because I feel like I need to clarify that mental health awareness is still very important, super important. But I need to pick one thing. I need to pick one thing to raise money for one charity stream, because the world is hurting right now. People don't have money, that's the point. People can't go and make it. So not only do I not want to wait until May to do a stream and almost ignore this immediate situation, but then ask you guys to give money to a cause you might not have. And then I was like, well, what if I just do both streams? What if I do one now and then one in May still wet? But then I'm, but then again, it goes back to the point of people don't have money right now. People can't afford to give right now. People need to get right now. Good. All right. Cool. I'm sorry. I know that I might sound exasperated, but this is the fourth or fifth time I've tried filming this, and I don't get to that point until the end of the video. I've even, I'm even looking at the video I shot already, and I'm like, man, like 20 minutes in, you finally say your point. So let me continue a little bit here. Now I can relax. I've set up an email called wood. What did I call it actually called wood hawker charity stream at gmail.com. The reason why I've done that is because I want as many of you to be a part of this stream as possible. This is what I was going to do with the mental health stream. This is happening in a week. So this email, send an email if you want to be a part of it. I highly recommend this is the best way I think to be a part of this, especially on short notice. To that email, if you're a content creator, if you're whatever, if you just want to spread a message, send me a 15 to 30 second video of yourself, telling us who you are, what you do, where you're from, and spreading the message of stay home, stay safe, wash your hands, and also the message of please give to this charity. Now when I say this charity, I mean, whichever one is important to you, whatever your country's version of feeding America, which feeding America is the main organization I will be donating to and raising money for and pushing because I am here in America. I live here now. This is my country and most of the people that watch my channel is in America. But clearly there's a lot of people that watch in Australia or you know Europe and everywhere is hurting right now. So if you want to send your message, tell us what it is we can do for your country, what it is people in your country can do to help. So if it was me making this little video for me, I would say hey, I'm wood from the YouTube channel beat them up, please stay safe, stay home and play video games. And donate to feeding America dot org. They are the nation's largest domestic hunger relief organization. And right now they are doing an entire thing for COVID-19 and helping out the food banks. The goal, there's no particular amount that I want to raise because I know everyone is hurting right now. The whole point is to give to those that can't and I feel like most of America and most of the world can't right now. So there's no goal I want to hit, but I will say that I'm going to kick off the stream immediately. I'm going to donate $1,000 to feeding America dot org just to get the ball rolling. Let me know your country's version of feeding America. And I will set it up so that in the description of the live stream, you will be able to find all of them. You can donate to your respective countries feeding America or whatever. And it will all go towards the stream every link every donation will go directly to the charity. It will not go to me. So I clarify that. Yeah, again, like I don't I don't have kids. You know, I have Kim and I help take care of us essentially that this house is my responsibility. But you know, I can't imagine if you're back when I was working at a hardware store. Um, that's not essential. I don't I imagine it's not essential. Just I was definitely living paycheck to paycheck and I was already eating plain rice back when I worked at that job because I was so broke. I know what I did with my money man. I was such a dumb kid. But regardless, I was a dumb kid and I did spend all my money and I was living on my own eating plain rice. So I can't imagine what it would be like if this had happened then. And I couldn't even afford my plain rice. I mean, I would have had to rely on people giving. Like we are going to do. And I want to thank everyone that is classified as an essential worker and still having to go to work and making the world run in the meantime, the Amazon delivery people. Um, gross, the grocery store down the road to me, which is the only place I've been in the last few weeks. I've been there three times to get food and if they weren't open, I don't know what I would do if Amazon didn't deliver. I don't know what I can't grow crops. I don't know how long that would even take. So thank you so much to the heroes right now. So please 5pm next Friday. I'm going to be live both on YouTube my main platform. Also, I'm going to be streaming on Twitch at the same time. Obviously the same stream. I can't be in two places at once. So decide if you want to follow me on Twitch or if you just want to watch it on YouTube. I don't care either way. It'll be on both. Yeah, that's all from me. Again, videos will be tomorrow as normal. Anyone watched that Tiger King? I watched the entire thing with Kim in like two days. I don't think I can ever watch anything else. I don't anything is ever going to be more entertaining than that. Like you look at that show from the outside looking in and you're like, okay, I don't get it. But then you start watching it and you're like, how is this real? How are these real people? It's crazy. Anyway, I hope you're all doing well. And see you live next week and see you in a video tomorrow. I love you all. Thanks so much. And if you can't make the stream or you just want to give early the links to everything or the links to feeding America will be below. By all means, just give now. You don't have to wait for the stream. So you do it. Do it now or wait. I don't as long as you do it. If you can. Alright, whatever. I'm out by I love you all.
