Great Ormond Street Charity Fund Raising Stream

As in a previous post, we decided to try to raise some money for a Children's hospital here in the Uk, the staff at Great Ormond Street Hospital in London, do a amazing job, and often will go above and beyond the duty of their jobs, they make sure, that not only do the children have the care they need, but also try to make sure their stay is as pleasant as possible, but do they stop there?...........in short no, they not only take care of the children, but will also help the parents too, this could be anything from just sitting with a cup of tea to talk to the parents, to keeping an eye on their child while the parent takes a much needed break, they can also provide accommodation for the parents to stay in during their child's stay.

We wanted to try to help in anyway we could, and we hoped to raise £300 for this amazing hospital, to help them give the care these amazing children/parents need.

Even though we fell well short of our target, we are still amazed at the amount of support we received from our regular followers on our twitch channel, we raised in total ( after paypal fees etc ) £43.67 ( see screen grab below of the payments received, names have been removed for security and replaced with their twitch account names that where used to make the payments )

During the stream, we received some startling comments by what is well known in the Twitch community as 'Trolls', this was rather a upsetting time for us, to receive this type of comment on a charity stream was a little ( say we say ) annoying, but we managed to control our tempers ( only just ), but the main comment was that we would not give the money to the charity, but keep it for ourselves, but as we have said on numerous occasions, any and all money raised will always be given to the charity it is intended for, below is a screenshot of the payment receipt we received after the payment was sent to Great Ormond Street.

As you should be able to see, the entire amount ( down to the last penny ) was sent via paypal to the G.O.S.H paypal account.

Again thank you for those of you who donated their hard earned money to this amazing hospital, and also not forgetting those that sat and watched our stream for over 11 hours, and even waited for 20 mins while MADxMAX2k went to have a bite to eat and have a drink, you guys are amazing, and we can not thank you enough.
