Gamer Michelle in Smedjebacken streams at night for Musikhjälpen

The organization Helpful Pixels consists of about 50 streamers and chat moderators, but they do not handle any money themselves – everything goes directly to the charitable causes.

Want to change the image of game geeks

With her contribution, Michelle wants to wash away prejudices that she believes may be that gamers are lazy, egotistical or restricted.

– Since I was little, I have always been a geek or gamer, and when you have told about the hobby, you have been seen as a slightly lazy individual and an “alien”. It is an unknown world for many, I want us instead to be seen as ambitious, committed, caring and accepting people, she says.

Feeling extra for the pregnancy theme

Michelle has her own connection to the theme “Everyone should survive their pregnancy” – in the video you can see why this year’s collection means extra to her.
