YouTube celebrity Willem Ungermann is best known by his social media handle, Willem Powerfish. On his channel you’ll find hilarious stunt and prank videos reminiscent of the Jackass-era of television trickery. Ungermann’s self-effacing style and wild sense of humor have helped him rack up more than 150K YouTube subscribers and nearly 300K followers on Instagram.

Recently, however, Ungermann has revealed his philanthropic side, posting videos of him helping out people in need. In one recent installment, Ungermann pays a visit to a local family in desperate need of assistance. The video is posted on his YouTube channel and has been used more than 95K times.

As the video opens, Ungermann explains the family’s saga. Mom, Donna, has been battling Primary Myelofibrosis, a rare blood cancer, for years. Her husband, Kevin, is drowning under a sea of medical debt and daughter, Amy, is in desperate need of a laptop for school that the family cannot afford. Ungermann credits his followers for making this kind of surprise giving possible. “When they buy my merchandise and watch my videos, good things can happen.”

Regarding his ability to give back, the social media phenom is refreshingly humble. “I’m lucky to be in the position I’m in right now. Thanks to social media, people can watch these videos and see—big or small—their giving really can make a difference.”

Cameras roll as Ungermann chats with Kevin while young Amy sits at her dad’s side (at the time of filming, Donna was hospitalized). Kevin reiterates the family’s struggles have been going on for years as Donna has bravely fought this disease. Ungermann then hands Kevin $5,000 in cash—and the look on Amy’s face as her father accepts the money is absolutely priceless. He then hands Amy a new MacBook laptop to use for school.

Kevin is humbled and tremendously grateful for the help. “This makes a huge difference for us. We can pay bills for a few months now and not have to worry. It’s amazing.”

As the video closes, Ungermann is surprisingly candid and grateful to his followers for making his philanthropy possible.

“If it weren’t for [my followers] we wouldn’t be able to do this.”

Ungermann promises his viewers more give-back videos in the future and encourages them to be a part of the movement, saying, “It’s good to give back—big or small—just give back.”

Wise words, indeed.
