Ninja urged people to stay positive and practice social distancing to prevent the spread of the deadly coronavirus. He also encouraged people with ample resources to come forward and make contribution to the cause.
In the video, Ninja said that he and his wife are in an incredible financial situation and so they wanted to give back to families that are suffering because of the deadly virus.
Feeding America, responding to his tweet, thanked him and said food banks continued to stay strong and are providing services to families and kids in this uncertain time.
Known for streaming Epic Games’ battle royale Fortnite, Ninja reportedly got into an exclusive deal with Mixer worth $20 to $30 million.
