Dream Comes Through With LGBTQIA+ Charity Promise

The internet’s largest Minecraft creator Dream recently received backlash after allegedly promising to donate his stream money to LGBTQIA+ youth for Pride month and not going on Twitch until the last day of June 31. But now, he has kept his promise of giving back to the LGBTQIA+ community during pride month as he managed to donate a whopping $140,000 to charity.

Dream had been under fire for making the promise to donate his stream revenue for Pride month and only streaming two times in total. One reason that may have influenced the lack of streaming on the creators part is that at the end of May he made headlines for admitting to unknowingly cheating during his record-breaking speedrun. Because of this, some fans were upset with Dream for not streaming more during the pride month.

After receiving a backlash because of his promise, he went on to fulfill this promise as he shared the news of the life-changing donation. Despite only streaming two times and hosting just three Twitter or Discord podcasts, Dream was able to garner $90,000 to be donated from subscribers, donations, and ads over the month. To round out his total the “dream team” contributed a further $50,000 to the cause winding up with $140,000 all up. This money will be donated to the Trevor Project which is a charity that does amazing work for LGBTQIA+ youth.

Although it may have only been two streams, the $140,000 donated is a commendable amount and will be put to good use in helping out the LGBTQIA+ youth in need.

Dream posted a tweet on his twitter stating; “Happy end of Pride Month. I’m glad we were able to raise so much for such an amazing cause.”
