In 2017 a small YouTuber known as “HandHeldGameFan” was in a bad situation. His wheelchair van had broken down, essentially trapping him at home until repairs were made. However, he didn’t have the money for repairs…So he went out on a limb and asked the few dozen peopled who watched his videos if they would pitch to in to a GoFundMe for the van repairs. One might not expect much to come from this, but what happens was unbelievable. Thanks to the kindness of his fans, the video was shared to reddit which was then pushed to the front page of the site. There was a collective online effort to fix this mans wheelchair van and this is that story.

  2. MarvelousSandstone on March 27, 2022 at 6:12 pm

    I did not know this story but thank you for sharing it because his content his right up my alley. I enjoy weird handhelds myself but it’s always nice to see more and he seems very knowledgeable about it.
    I’m also disabled myself and I sadly also know all too well how it is to not have the money to get necessary stuff.

    i dont get it why not just take the bus? or use the wheelchair
    how does not using a car make you trapped? just a bit overdramatic for a slight inconvenience

    Kevin and Stephanie are awesomeness.

  5. Robert Fandrich on March 27, 2022 at 6:14 pm

    Thank you for showing with videos like this again and again that people and the internet are a great thing. Especially in times like these it’s nice that some light comes into this darkness.

    Keep going 😉

    That was so sweet. I’m glad he was able to get his van fixed (and another car) so he could get around.

  11. oni on March 27, 2022 at 6:17 pm

    the good dudes who pulled up and fixed it for free-
    one of the only times OP actually delivered, as if the entire story wasn’t a series of miracles and good deeds already :’ )

    Shouldn’t have to beg just to get essential medical equipment. I find it all a bit raw and sad how Americans have to suffer for being born in a socially backwards political system.

  14. The Kill on March 27, 2022 at 6:19 pm

    In a world full of shit… this was very much needed 🙏🏼

  29. ian jacka on March 27, 2022 at 6:48 pm

    OMG, I’ve had a challenging week to say the least and this is the ultimate pick up. The Internet can be such a bitchy place and this was beautiful to see it’s good side. Got a 42 year old man in happy tears, lol.

    These events really strike a chord with me. My best friend and indoor pet rooster fell sick last year, and I had nothing to pay for vet bills. I made a post with some pictures of him and people shared it raising 3 thousand dollars, and we were able to get state of the art treatment to his care. He passed away a month after, but seeing that donation pool rapidly go up washed away panic and stress and let me spend his final days with him 24/7. People coming together is really awesome and I’m so happy to see this video and what people did for him.

  31. tziirkq on March 27, 2022 at 6:53 pm

    Is that another BoC song at 7:16? I can’t quite place it.

  32. FlowUrbanFlow on March 27, 2022 at 6:54 pm

  33. sieyk on March 27, 2022 at 6:54 pm

    This is why I love living in a Nordic country. No one should stoop to charity

  37. A D on March 27, 2022 at 6:58 pm

    You seriously need to do a video about the infamous youtube: camerdancer100. He was so popular for a matter of 9 months throughout 2011 and has since disappeared from the face of the earth.

    This gives me hope that as fucked up and greed we as a species can be, there are still good people around . Thanks for the vid mate.
