Sometimes, the gaming community can do wonders and change lives in a flash. The veteran Final Fantasy XIV streamer Mrhappy1227 witnessed it to the fullest yesterday when he made a desperate call to his community for help on his YouTube channel on April 26.

In the video, he said he had started a GoFundMe with a goal of $50,000 to help pay for medical and living fees for his mother, who cannot work due to being “semi-paralyzed” following a severe case of cerebrospinal fluid leak. In less than 24 hours afterward, his community responded by donating $110,000, more than double the amount he had set as the goal.
