On Monday, February 5, 2024, Host Dan of the Welsh News Network announced that the nightly edition of the WNN live stream would be devoted to a fundraiser to send Hezokuai Jenkins to Oregon for a visit to Rae Rae, his producer, then the pair would travel to see her family.
Roughly $2186 was donated to the trip fund during Monday night’s broadcast, which came as a great surprise to Rae Rae and Hezokuai when informed of both the fundraiser and the total.
The goal was met within two and a half hours of the start of the broadcast as there was a tremendous outpouring of support on Monday for Rae Rae following her announcement of her end stage diabetes diagnosis.
Tuesday’s edition of WNN started with the following announcement:
“Due to personal reasons that we will NOT get into Rae Rae is unable to make the planned trip, so those who donated money have a choice to make, do they want a refund, or would they still like the money to go to Rae Rae to get Hez over to her and make some good memories, It is entirely an individual decision, there is no right or wrong answer, anyone who wants a refund may let us know either in chat, DM or via the channel e-mail.
For the record both Becca and Myself have decided that the money we donated goes to Rae Rae to get Hez over to her and to make some good memories to help her through this difficult time.”
While the vast majority of those who donated have made it clear that the money should still go to Rae Rae, those seeking refunds should contact WNN at welshnewsnetwork@gmail.com.
