Ninja stuns Lachlan with $30,000 donation to Australian fires stream

Australian Fortnite YouTuber Lachlan Power was aiming to raise $10,000 in the aftermath of the bushfire crisis in his home country, and was left floored after Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins blew his goal out of the park with a huge $30,000 donation.

With bushfires burning out of control back home, Lachlan felt a need to step in and help raise some money. The Australian YouTuber is currently abroad in Japan right now, but dedicated his January 14 stream to helping raise money for charity.

With a modest goal of $10,000 set, the streamer was slowly ticking off milestone after milestone. However, even his wildest expectations were surpassed when Ninja joined the party, smashing his goal three-times-over with one donation.

Ninja donated $30,000 to Lachlan’s bushfire appeal live on stream.

“Ninja has just donated $30,000,” he said, starting in shock trying to comprehend the massive donation the Fortnite phenom left. “I think that’s the real one, oh my god, you’re kidding. I don’t know what to say. I know he tweeted out that he wanted to do a lot for the bushfires and jeez I feel like that’s–that’s insane Ninja.”

That wasn’t meant to be Ninja’s only appearance on Lachlan’s bushfire stream though. He extended an invitation to the American to play a game or two, but he was busy with his own stream. If there is one way to decline an invite though, it’s with $30,000 to the cause.

Ninja, who was live on Mixer at the time, said that the donation he wanted to do was so big, his credit cards were declining payments. It took a few attempts to get through the mega donation, but once it came through, all he could do was smile and watch Lachlan’s reaction.
