They allow other countries of both military and civilians to join their community. they have helped a lot of people. With Twitch's support, they could help even more.

Just wanted to add the comment that MVG is inclusive of all active duty, veterans, and civilian supporters regardless of race, ethnicity, age, gender, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, disability, economic status, and other diverse backgrounds. The only restrictions we have are members must speak English as we run a gaming discord - it does not have to be their primary language, and they are at least 18 years old, as military members might use some salty language. MVG is inclusive in its mission.

This is an amazing organization staffed completely by a trained unpaid volunteer staff. Twitch is a large part of our community and I am proud to be here.
I am the Senior Manager of Content Creation and do my best to support our charity's twitch channel at https://mvgcharity.org and our two very small stream teams, mvgcommunity (The Battle Buddy Stream Team of 215) and mvgteam (Official Stream Team of 15).
Using the Twitch Charity system will help our organization immensely and cannot be underestimated. Your vote for MVG is greatly appreciated. It will give our team members an easy channel to set up events to collect money during their streams.
