You helped me through difficult times. It’s time I do the same.

Looking back at this a year and a half later, when we had (and still have) no idea how long this would drag on...You are an absolute hero.

Simone this is an awesome thing to do. You are a great person.

I will take the coolest coin that you design and mint yourself. I want GiertzCoin! You are simply a doll and an amazing person for offering financial support for those in need and I hope all that need it, get it. I am good for now, but maybe a month from now.... ;)

Share mine at will.

This is profoundly kind. <3

I cannot believe how amazing you are being. Thank you for being you <3

While I am not in need, I am grateful that you offered. Kudos to you for giving back.

You are amazing. God bless. I’m okay. Others far worse off. I wish them safety and health. Thank you for being you Simone. XX

Decent.. but the rest of you stay home... I don't think your us media is very honest and ppl are worried.. this is not something you want to be no 1 for...

Goddamn Simone. You are simply awesome. I hope you stay well, continue to make cool shit and inspire the rest of us.

You’re an awesome person for doing this. I’m in good shape financially and don’t need anything, but thank you so much for helping those who do.

Thank you for helping people

I don’t need it (thankfully), but this is such a beautiful gesture on your part, Simone! Thank you!

Thank you for this Simone ❤️

You're a hero and an inspiration! :)

You are the best Simone. I have lost many of my hours at Uni due to classes not being run.

Please donate my pledge to something worthy, maybe Feeding America or another cause that helps people thru these tough times. Who else is with me?

Sweet as fuck.

It is beautifully heartwarming to know that by supporting you, I am also supporting a community. Thank you.

Your videos make me laugh out loud, and are as interesting as hell besides. This act of generosity on your part, giving away Patreon earnings, makes me love you even more.

How very sweet of you! We are happy to support you!

I loved your doing-the-dished live stream yesterday. It was exactly what I needed since I'm holed up in my house all alone with no one to talk to. Thanks Simone!

This makes my heart so happy! Thank you for offering support to those in need <3 I have been doing my best to do that too within my means

Thank you for giving back. Much love <3

<3

I am doing just fine, Simone, but I have to say that this is a darn fine thing of you to do for others. God bless you!

You're a very kind person. That's very considerate of you.

Wow! I'm still working fulltime (from home though), so I hope there's someone else here who can benefit from this extremely generous and philanthropic offer! You're the best Simone!

You're a special kind of person Simone

You are a sweet and very honorable person. Thank You. Please stay healthy.

Holy fuck you're an awesome person! <3

This is an awesome gesture Simone! I don't need anything, but I want to thank you anyway.

You're fantastic Simone! Thank you!

What an incredible gesture 🙌

You really are amazing.

Wow! What an amazing gesture! I'll agree that you're amazing!

Thank you! <3

I'm doing fine, but I had to drop in to tell you you're amazing.

Best wishes to you.

Holy sweet party pants, Simone. Damn decent of you. That's one of the most decent things I've seen one person for another during this thing.

Bless you, Simone. There is also a person on Imgur going by the pseudonym of Pizza Angel or something like that. For those in need of food, he and his followers have donated pizzas to Imgurians. There is kindness in the world. "Look for the helpers."

Proud of you

❤️

You’re the epitome of “the best” Simone! No need to send me any money though. My wife and I are only going out once a week for food at this point but we may change soon to having our son shop and leave the groceries in the garage. I imagined many things about life but never that I’d be almost 65, lose my job after 21 years and see a pandemic unfold. If you can, please keep up your wonderful work that makes us laugh, makes us excited about tech, and sometimes makes us cry. Love from both of us!

I'm totally fine. Both my wife and I are working from home and continue to get paid, but just wanted to say how awesome this was and just reinforces my decision to stay one of your patrons. You're the best. Keep on being awesome.

This is lovely, you are super awesome

You're amazing! I'm doing okay even though I am in isolation for 2 weeks. I have a good job and I think they will cover it.

Simone, you are the best! I do not need your support, but I appreciate your generosity.

I'm doing a-okay, but i wanted to say that it is very cool that you are doing this!

Such a sweet thing to do! My wife and I will be fine, but thank you so much! :) Absolutely loved your brain shredder video!

You are so sweet, Simone. I think that most of us contribute here only what we can afford in even the worst of times (or worst we can normally imagine - there always can be even worse times), and I imagine you were hit pretty hard by this mess. Keep up and thank you for your kind offer!.

You are an inspiration to us all. I'm so happy you were my first Patreon pledge and my kids love everything you do. Take care

Thank you for being such an amazing human.

I'm lucky enough that, while I may have to tighten up a bit, I'll still be okay financially through this as well. I just wanted to say that you are an amazing person for doing this! The world needs more people like you!

You are amazing. I don't need anything, but I am sure that there are many who do. Stay well, Simone.

That's super nice of you, but seems like a lot of work. Would it be easier to just suspend your Patreon for a month? I don't need you to do this, and I'm considering upping my contribution this month, but it's a consideration.

You’ve started my day off in the perfect direction with this, Simone! You are a superstar, most benevolent Queen Simone!

Skulle sätta igång ett avsnitt Mandelmanns att se med barnen och frugan, skulle bara läsa mailen först och plötsligt sitter man och lipar framför hela familjen. Jag skapade mitt Patreon-konto när jag hörde om din tumör första gången. Det känns bra att veta att du använder pengarna till så bra saker. Så bra gjort, Simone! <3

what an absolute angel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I'm ded upping my contribution to you to help everyone else

You are an amazing and inspiring person. Thank you for extending your help to those that need it.

Good on you Simone from Australia. I don’t need any help but your charity warmed my day. Brilliant.

A hero we don't deserve.

Fan alltså. Du är grym. Älskar att jag är med och stöttar någon som dig.

Ahem, make available an 8x10 of the top image. That look of giddy happiness is a delight.

Thanks you but it should go to others. Me and the family are doing okay. I am very glad to hear you are doing okay. If I felt a wellspring of affection for you before it just may have filled up to actual love, My Queen. Cyber hugs for this touching gesture.

Thank you Simone. I am trying to help those around me and so far we are all doing ok. I know you appreciate us and we do appreciate you!

What a kind and inspiring gesture!

You are one awesome brain child!

Those who bless in faith and facts are blessed, I support this act of kindness like myself to help those in need. Great idea will paid it forward......Thanks Simon

Simon thanks for keeping humanity to its best. The client that I worked for last year did not pay me and is no bankrupted. I fight it with love. You are a good example of how to do that! a digital hug is all I Wish for.

You’re quite an awesome and groovy human being.

Allt du säger och allt du gör är helt fantastiskt. Med dig bakom rodret (även utan båten) blir allt kalas :)

Älskade unge!!!!

This is a very kind thing you are doing. Luckily I am able to work from home, but so many people don't have that option. I'm glad you are able to help some of them.

Wow that's unbelievable! You are a star :)

Simone ... you are an amazing and wonderful person!

Amazing.

Thankfully I’m in a paid leave (technically for the duration of the emergency in Spain I’m “temporarily unemployed” as the company where I work is closed), but I get unemployment benefits and my company will supplement those benefits so I'll get almost 100% of my wages… The only thing I need is content… like all Spaniards I’m under "quarantine", I cannot leave my home (except for things such as getting groceries)… so I need content, more videos!!!! Being stuck at home, alone, without any company (other than my pets) is quite boring.

You are a true queen!

There's a good chance my income will be next to zero for a few months, and my modest stock portfolio has gone from being $5k up to -$15k down. That said, I have enough savings to get me through it so I don't need a cheque. In fact I have also upped my contribution to help you help more people. I just wanted to say how much I'm in awe of your kindness. Stay safe and God bless...

Thank you for this Simone. I'm lucky enough to not need it, and I hope others won't take advantage of your kindness (or of those patreons who are generous enough to bump up their pledges)!! Shit sucks right now, it's awful, but thank you for bringing a little bit of positivity into our lives. Stay safe!

That is amazing. This makes me even happier that I have chosen to support you.

You're a star Simone, thank you for considering your supporters and being a good human.

I don't need a check, just checking in to say hi, and thanks for being an awesome human being. Hoping you pass thru this mishigas safely.

This is beautiful! I'm a pro musician, and to say this situation messes with us is an understatement. Luckily, right now, I"m fine, but this brought tears to my eyes. You are the kind, thoughtful, decent person you seem to be, on screen. Kudos!!

You are so freaking awesome! Edit: Upped to 15. Go for it.

This. Is. So. Nice. 🥺 Upping my pledge to help give to those in need. So kind 🤧

Strong move indeed! I'm quite fine for now, working 50% and geting 80% in salary :) I hope this will get to and help the right people.

That is amazing Simone! You truly do rock!

This is so incredibly kind. Thank you.

This is awesome. I hope this helps many people ♥️

This is such an incredibly kind offer. You are so so thoughtful. Please remember to take care yourself in all of this ❤

Simone thank you so much for doing this, it's brought some light and hope on day that's been full of scary things. I'm thankfully not in a position where I need the help. Stay safe Simone and everyone who reads this. We'll get through this. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

So nice to you Simone, I've upped my pledge to $25 per month too, I can so I do... Stay safe, stay at home ! WE LOVE YOU!

This is SO awesome 🙏🙏

Such an inspiration... I'm having a moment ;-) Just increased my pledge. Thanks for being incredible.

I’ve upped my pledge to $25 starting next month. Is there another way I can help contribute more?

I know a human, a real human. And I can be proud to say I support her in whatever ways she thinks the accumulated contributions are best used for. I don't know why I still have mixed feelings about this. As you can see this generosity moves me. Instead of "we always said so" you simply take responsibility for what you're not responsible or in charge. I should just be glad for you to be able to give back in good times. Maybe I fear you put a heavy load on yourself when making the cut somewhere before all pleas are fulfilled. But I'm sure you moved this thought around enough to be sure you want to do it and want to do it this way and I hope this will bring up some nice stories and gratitude coming back from this - in consent with them.

Bless your heart! Not only are you saving my sanity trough your videos, you are now displaying a level of kindness one has to work hard to achieve. I am not a victim of corona, just my little private hell and catastrophes. But seeing you helping others gives me some hope back. Thank you.

You are amazing in every dimension. It would take a 7d printer to replicate your goodness!

Wow what an offer to make. You are the greatest , such an amazing person. You have a Big Heart . Keep well and stay safe ❤️❤️❤️❤️

that is a lovely gesture Simone, I'm sure it will help some people out, I wish all of you guys, and fellow Patreons all the best through these trying times. stay healthy all!

I've just had over $5k in lost revenue with my Airbnb, thanks to the Beer Virus. I don't recall what I patronize you, but whatever it is, I am not going reduce my patronizing or patronage or whatever anyone want's to call it. I dig you, i dig your content and I really dig your mind. I mean really, a Truckla? Yeah, you're cool. Thanks for giving back. Another reason to dig you. BTW, if you couldn't tell, I lived through the 60's. Not that I remember much of it. Stay safe.

I'm upgrading my pledge as well. You represent everything we need in this world. You go.

Simone you are the best.

And this is exactly why I'm your patron. Not only are you an amazing creator you are just plain amazing as a person too. Keep making the world a better place :)

Thank you for doing this!

The best you can do is help keep the morals up, do what you are good at producing cool content!

I just updated my monthly pledge to $10/month. For others who would like to follow suite, here is the link to change your monthly amount (it was not intuitive): https://www.patreon.com/pledges - Click on edit in the Membership column for for Simone's row. Thanks to Tree Carcass Mangler for explaining to me how to do it.

I just want to say that this is incredible and makes me love you even more. my job is stable for now but awesome that you can do this to help other.

This is incredibly kind and thoughtful ❤️❤️❤️

You are just friggin' awesome, you know that? Inspiring in so many ways, really. I just upped my monthly contribution for your work, doubling the Top Tier amount (FYI people, it's easy to do under Manage Memberships).

You're a wonderful human, Simone.

You are the best! I’m in a fortunate place and don’t need help at this point. I even have toilet paper! 😂 Really, this is an incredible idea and thank you so much.

Impressive goal. I am honored to have been right about you all along.

You're awesome.

What a wonderful offer! I don't need anything now but thank you for helping others.

You're awesome, Simone. This is an incredible gesture <3 I'm fortunate enough to not need such help at the moment and I even got some bog roll for my birthday a few days ago!

Wow. What an incredible thing to do. I'm so glad I follow you—you're such an inspiration to me and my dorky 4-year-old niece who loves robots.

That is so considerate of you, and I guess you wouldn't be you if you didn't do something like that. ❤ I hope you're safe and all. Would you have time to do some video to cheer up us people (self) quarantined in our homes? Just to say hi or something. 😊 That would mean more than the money to me.

Mind. Blown. Way to set an example! 😃

I love you. This is totally selfless and I really appreciate you doing this for people. Please keep yourself safe <3

I don't need it myself, but this is awesome! Thank you.

I don't need the financial help, but do need your spirit. Thanks for having such a great heart.

You're incredible, you have such a wonderful way of taking on life. Thank you so much for being you.

Thank you so much for your kind heart. You are what we need right now. <3

what a gigantic heart!!

You are just ridiculously awesome. <3

❤️

An angel, confirmed

This is a wonderful thing! I'm self-employed and will be fine financially, but I have an idea. If I increase my patreonage or add $10 or $20 to the fund, can I get a signed thank-you card? No rush on that whatsoever, it can arrive next year, but it would be awesome to have something Simone.

You are an absolutely beautiful person <3 Not a patreon but, it's beautiful to see people willing to do so much for others. Thank you for having such a kind heart <3

Way to go, woman! Beautiful. You continue to inspire!

That's the most uplifting thing I've heard all day! Hope you and your family are all OK.

A fine woman indeed.

Thank you for this! :) As a student living in France, I am in no need. But appreciate your willingness to help those who are!

I would like to increase my monthly Patreon commitment. Could you add some higher tiers?

Another reason to love you and what you do. Proud to support you.

Wow Simone! You have a heart of gold! Why can't everyone be like you? So far I'm keeping my paycheck. I really hope we all make it through this ok. Stay safe out there everyone!

Wow what a legend!! Thanks Simone, what a lovely gesture 😊🌈 Things are tough but I’ll get through it. Hope you’re able to really sort someone out who needs it 🙏

Here in Tennessee they haven't closed everything yet, but if they do, I'll be in this exact situation. Leave with no pay. Thank you for offering, I might not need your help for now but the thought of it is truly appreciated ❤️

I have no need for this, but wow, what a lovely thing to do 💖 Thankyou xx

Hjälte.

Good on you, Simone. I don't need any help right now, but I'm sure there are many who do. Take care and be safe <3

<3

Simone You are still my favorite robot make. And now you are even more favorite woman on the internet. I'm Going for the bigger Tier Just because of this. Regards from Norway.

Thanks so much, Simone. I've temporarily lost my job due to the virus. Many tourist/entertainment facilities are closing down for up to 8 weeks in my city. I doubt that I will be able to claim any form of unemployment benefits unfortunately.

Du är verkligen en hyvens människa, Simone! Fortsätt med det! ;-)

holy shit you rule

God finally found a way to get Democrats and Republicans to work together. And yours is one of the most awesome gestures that I have ever seen! I am fortunate to be living on a lifetime annuity which I hope keeps working. But could you send some toilet paper...

Simone - in a world where there are fist fights for toilet paper (Covid-19 IS respiratory, isn't it??) - you show by your actions how good people respond to difficult situations. YOU, my dear are an inspiration. Thank you.

Genuine tears, you are wonderful Simone. Thank you

I wish I had a hat on my head, that I could raise to praise!

So rather than patreon refund, any chance you could use your platform to promote freelance artist? I make a bunch of stuff that depends on conventions and since they all are cancelled income has completely disappeared and I know there's a bunch of us in that boat. Though if not, totally understand, appreciate the thought regardless :)

You're awesome! Cheers!

What a beautiful gesture! I’m also fortunate and do not need the money, but I’m sure it will be greatly appreciated by those with families or other responsibilities. Then again, you have Truckla to consider too :)

You're a good egg Simone, much love

That's amazing 😁 I hope this will help someone that needs it

I lost my job seven months ago due to medical reasons. So I know the pinch that some people are in. I think this is an amazing thing that you’re doing, kind of sucks right now looking for a job. But I’ll muddle through somehow. I may have to withdraw my Patreon tribute to you. However that would just be temporary till I’m gainfully employed again. I do appreciate that offer. However there are probably many people that need the help more than me. You’re an awesome person.

You're a peach.

This is why I support you Simone. You're a great person doing great things. Keep up the hard work.

YOU ARE AMAZING!

Simone, you are just the best. I think I'll be okay, but it's so heartwarming to see you reach out like this. Stay safe, stay genuine.

You are amazing. Glad you are able to help people out

Thank You Simone. I'm retired with a good pension and 401k, so I'll survive, help others if you can.

Awesome. We're fine here, but your kindness is inspiring.

Simone, you are amazing. I thank God that you are so loving and willing to help people that need it. Stay safe and keep being you!

Wow. I didn't think I could like you any more than I did ... and yet ... My wife and I are fine so DON'T expect a DM from me! :-) Wow (did I say that already?)

That's a really great gesture. Hope everyone's keeping safe.

What a beautiful gesture!

That is so awesome!! I hope people are honest with it. Fortunately for me, my job can be worked from home (plus, I'm salaried) so it shouldn't impact my paycheck at this time... if this goes on for too long, it may not be so good... I'm a long time supporter (I think since the beginning) and have never wavered in my desire to continue that support! Keep being awesome!

Well done buddy! We’re ok here hunkered down in Canada - best of luck to everyone else!

Classy as fudge!

You rock. But we already knew that. So I guess now you rock twice? Double rock? Rock^2? Anyways, rock on.

Reading things like this at this time are so wonderfully uplifting. Thank you Ms. Giertz for doing this. Hugs

Very thoughtful of you! I'm even more empowered to support your Patreon!

Hey, I was thinking of doing something similar, but hadn't figured out how yet. If you have more demand than funds available, maybe some of us could pitch in to extend your offer? Either way, here's to looking out for one another.

Is there any way I can provide additional help?

You are a high-quality human, Simone.

This is remarkably kind of you. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help the folks who reach out

Because of the person you are, I love how everyone knows you have pure and compassionate intentions with this overwhelmingly thoughtful gesture. There's a lesson in that for other leaders. Well done.

This is amazing!

You are awesome 👏👏

Awesome! Very kind thought and it means a lot. Ok here but if you have any spare loo rolls... :)

Simone -- You are WONDERFUL.

You are amazing. Wishing everyone well out there

This made me cry. Thank you.

All I can say is you are awesome and hopefully people don't abuse your generosity.

This is such an incredibly kind thing to do - I just lost my job but I have some savings so I won't take any. You're a wonderful person.

This is the most lovely thing I've read in some time and it's got me properly tearing up. I'm lucky enough to be able to work from home but it's maddening that those who can't have so few options. I hope you and your friends and family stay safe too <3

This is awesome and you are awesome :D <3

You rock lady! Stay safe everyone, we'll get through this ❤

What a beautiful idea! Thank you for being a force of awesome!

You're incredible. My agency took a hit, but I am in a better position than most. My goddaughter and her fam could use some help. They avoided a COVID scare this past week in MI (they were never so relieved to all have flu-A). Could I send along their address?

You are such a beautiful person...

You have one of the kindest hearts in the world. Thank you Simone! I don't need it, but I'm glad you're being a hero!

This is fantastic, I’m in the lucky position to have a job that’ll keep paying even if I get ill, this makes me so happy that I support someone who’s just awesome!

You are a wonderful human being Simone.

I'm luckily still getting paid at my job during this crisis, but I just wanted to thank you for being so compassionate and willing to help others.

I'm doing fine myself, but one of the content creators I support on Patreon, Vazkii, is struggling a little, so they could probably use it.

Your posts always brighten my day, but this is some next level brightness! 🥰

You're Awesome.

You're an amazing individual. Stay safe.

Wow, I thought that I couldn't possibly admire you more than I already did. I was wrong! This is an amazing thing to do.

You are amazing and inspiring as always - so proud to be a part of this community. My wife and I are set financially and ready to help our community as needs arise...thank you Simone for being you.

Very nice of you!

You have touched my heart. May you always have water under your keel. :)

I'm lucky to be able to work from home and not be ruined from some time off work. Hopefully everyone who's affected financially from this crisis will Get back on their feet soon!

How do I give you $ to give to others?

This is awesome! Now, go wash your hands!

Great gesture!

You're awesome!

You're incredible Simone! Bless you're little cotton socks

This is so heartwarming, thank you for reaching out to others and paying it forward.

Oh my god, Simone, you're an absolute angel! I'm also lucky to have a job I can do from home, but I'm sure this will help a lot of other people! You're a real blessing!

You’re a good human being, Simone! Proud to be part of the crew here :)

Woah, Simone, right in the feels. Thank you for being amazing. Thankfully I’m getting by, but thank you for being you.

How generous of you. Imagine if America was a country that had mandatory sick leave, like everywhere else.

An amazing thing to do! I know a lot of people aren’t getting paid while their businesses are closed, especially restaurant workers, and every little bit will help them. You just get more incredible and inspirational as time goes by!

You're a good person.

You're such an amazing person. I'm seriously blown away that you're willing to help people like this. Keep up the great work Simone. We'll all get through this together.

What an utterly fantastic idea. You rock.

Wow! 😭 What a hero you you! Tack för din insats Simone, tillsammans tar vi oss genom de här! 🥰

You're an excellent human.

You are amazing! Im honored to be your patron.

This is so nice of you Simone. Thankfully I am able to work from home. Good health to you and everyone else.

I'm fortunate enough to not need the help but you are absolutely a god tier level of human being for doing this. You are continually one of the most genuinely kind-hearted people on the planet. Thank you for all you do, Simone. You'll forever have my support.

I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy!

You are a truly amazing person and beautiful soul Simone!

This is really amazing!! ❤️

Not me, but you are awesome. Pleased to be in this crew.

So proud to be a supporter of someone like you.

You’re a little-maker-tech angel.

Good onya!

You make me very proud to be one of your patrons. . .
