In case you missed my previous post I'm hosting a fundraiser to get Garry to come back so players can get the "Yes, I am the real garry!" achievement.

We've got four days left before the end of the fundraising goal, and we're still a bit short.

If you haven't donated yet, now is the perfect time. All proceeds go to Child's Play, a charity who help provide comfort to children in hospitals and domestic abuse shelters around the world.

If you can't donate, but want to help out (or go the extra mile) like the video and share it around, hijacking the algorithm is a good way of getting the word out.

Thank you in advance!

Please donate if you can:

Yeah uh let me donate money to to a fuck all organisation so they can run off with it and no one will ever get an achievement.

"A fuck all organisation" is an interesting way to describe a charity who bring palliative comfort to terminally ill children.

They've got a 96% score with Charity Navigator and have been operating for 25 years, contributing more than $55 million USD to kids who are literally fucking dying.

Actually reading what the event is about clarifies that this is not a certainty, but regardless of the outcome, we're still doing a good thing.

If the idea of raising money for sick kids upsets you this much, maybe you should reflect on why a charity for dying kids makes you so defensive? Weird hill to die on.
