Streaming star Tyler “Ninja” Blevins is one of the most popular faces in gaming, boasting over 14 million followers on Twitch before leaving the site for Mixer – and he’s using his internet fame for a good cause.

Ninja’s expansive fanbase includes both older and younger gamers alike, and he’s not above showing his admirers a little appreciation now and then.

In fact, Ninja sent a special video message to one of his young fans on August 21 – a fan who suffers from cerebral palsy, a condition defined as a group of disorders that affect muscle coordination and movement.

“Hi Finley!” Ninja’s message began. “I just wanted to say hi and I hope you’re feeling better. I love you buddy, and have a good rest of your day, man.”

The star’s video was posted to Twitter by Finely’s father, fellow streamer “KingoCraigo,” who revealed that Ninja had also sent his son a signed LAMO figure and t-shirts.

KingoCraigo later uploaded a video of Finley watching Ninja’s special message, who embraced his father with a hug, appearing to cry.

“…he cried but I had to cut it out, as he doesn’t want to show everyone,” Kingo confirmed in the video’s caption. “He will remember this forever, you’re his idol mate and I appreciate you taking time out so much. Legend.”

Ninja’s wife and manager Jessica Blevins responded to Kingo’s Tweet with an equally heartfelt message, writing, “What a sweet boy. We wish him the best and send all of our love here from Chicago.”

The heartfelt moment didn’t end there: Finely’s Amazon wishlist was also completely “wiped out” following Ninja’s retweet of the tear-jerking video, which even gave the youngster motivation to walk on his own without any support.

This wouldn’t be the first time Ninja has brought a young fan to tears, either: the streamer sent a birthday message to nine-year-old Zach on August 12, completely shocking the youngster, who couldn’t keep a smile off his face after watching Ninja’s video.
