On one of our other websites, Ashtyn wrote a blog post concerning one of my peers at the University of Michigan-Flint. Her house, the house she shares with her fiance, had been broken into. They had stolen their laptop, video game systems, and games. While these items are not necessities, they were important to Kate and Carl. They spent their hard earned money on these items, and in an instant lost them to the greed of someone who invaded their private space.

I asked Ashtyn what could we, as bloggers, do to help Kate and Carl. So, we set out to connect with the companies we work with on a regular basis, to see if they could help us help Kate and Carl. AND one company responded.

We’ve enjoyed working with Ubisoft, reviewing their titles, posting their videos, and sharing gaming news from them for over a year. When Ubisoft heard about Kate and Carl’s situation, they responded by sending a box of video games. These games would not replace what was lost, but would help them to rebuild their game arsenal. I was so happy that Ubisoft responded, and Kate and Carl were thrilled, as well.

Here is a video Kate made thanking Ubi for helping them out after the break in and showing off all the cool games Ubisoft sent.

THANK YOU UBISOFT. YOUR COMMITMENT TO GAMERS IS EVER SO APPARENT. I AM PROUD TO HAVE SO MANY OPPORTUNITIES TO WORK WITH YOUR COMPANY.
