Four years ago, Donalson wanted to donate to Tfue. But another question might now arise as to why he didn’t simply transfer the money online. Well, surprisingly, the North Carolina-based creator had issues with the money-transferring app as his PayPal was frozen. So he just decided to travel all the way to donate in person. Also, it helped him make an outstanding video for his channel.

After an 11-hour-long drive from North Carolina to Florida, the 24-year-old showed up at Tfue’s window while he was livestreaming Fortnite. Then he knocked at the window and Tfue was surprised but also happy to see Donaldson there at his place.

The North Carolina-based YouTuber then threw a challenge at Tfue mentioning that on every kill he would donate $500. The Fortnite streamer gladly accepted the challenge and went on a killing spree eventually winning the match. So, Jimmy kept his word and donated $10,000. Later, the duo hung out before Donaldson left for North Carolina.

Donaldson joined hands with Fortnite for an exciting collaboration
