After a TikToker’s plea for help, YouTuber MrBeast proved that he’s never too busy to support a fan.
On February 11, TikToker Emmett Kessler posted a montage of pictures of his mom, who is battling breast cancer.
With costly medical bills, surgeries, and various treatments, Kessler decided to reach out to YouTuber Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson. With every photo he shared of his mom, the TikToker explained to MrBeast why they needed his help.
“Dear MrBeast, this is my mom suffering from breast cancer. She loves to have fun with what she can and be as happy as she can for me and my brothers. She needs radiation treatment to get rid of the rest of cancer. We sadly don’t have the resources for that so can we have some help?”
At the end of his slideshow, Kessler told MrBeast his mom is a huge fan of his work. “This is the last photo I have of her genuinely happy. She loves the Beast Games show and it would be such a blessing if you saw this.”
With the help of MrBeast, Kessler’s mom will hopefully get the treatment she needs for her breast cancer.
MrBeast donates $20K to cancer fund for TikToker’s mom
About one week after sharing his mom’s story, MrBeast reposted Kessler’s TikTok and donated $20,000 to her GoFundMe. Donations have since reached $60K, and are climbing.
Fans of the YouTuber were in disbelief that he not only donated but saw the post in the first place. “MrBeast is the best man in the world,” commented one. “MrBeast sent $20,000, man that’s insane,” wrote another.
The YouTuber’s generosity isn’t a one-time thing, either. As a philanthropist, MrBeast seeks out opportunities to help individuals in need. In January, he bought 2,000 prosthetic legs for the paraplegic. He also re-sourced the cocoa used for his Feastables chocolate bar to help reduce child labor within the cacao industry.
