Emergency disaster relief efforts to help with damage from Hurricane Helen
Disaster Relief Completed quickly highlights how the impacts of Hurricane Helen cannot be ignored.
Games Done Quick generally follows a summer and winter schedule, although it may occasionally hold additional events. GDQ does have female-focused Flame and Frost Fatales side events, but they are somewhat mixed/failed in terms of the organization's general schedule. TwitchCon's Games Done Quick Express also missed a few years, and since Japan Relief Done Quick in 2011, there have only been four charity events organized by GDQ in response to current events.
The most recent was Corona Relief Done Quick in 2020. This means the upcoming Disaster Relief Done Quick breaks the trend of at least three to four Games Done Quick events each year to help those in need due to the devastation of Hurricane Helen. GDQ's history of stepping up to help with disaster relief serves as an unspoken statement about how badly Category 4 cyclones devastated the eastern United States. These are Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, and Virginia. Disaster Relief Done Quick aims to donate to Direct Relief, a charity dedicated to helping poor people in emergency situations.
Games Done Quick has previously supported Direct Relief as one of the charities supported in two events: Corona Relief Done Quick and Games Done Quick Express 2018. Also noteworthy is the overall speed with which Disaster Relief Done Quick, like Games Done, is implemented. Quick finished the Express 2024 event at TwitchCon two days before Helene landed. The October event likely won't raise as much money as previous Summer Games Done Quick and Awesome Games Done Quick events, as most GDQ side events typically haven't, but it's clear that GDQ has good intentions and wants to help. We are suffering from the aftermath of the storm. For those interested in watching or donating, look out for Disaster Relief Done Quick on Games Done Quick's Twitch channel from October 11th at 6PM ET to October 13th at 11:59PM ET.
