People and businesses from all walks of life and industries are looking for ways to assist and support the people and animals of Australia with donations to recover from the bushfires that have ravaged the country in recent months. As previously reported, the fires have reportedly killed at least 27 people, displaced thousands, destroyed homes and property and caused still uncertain (but undoubtedly lasting) damage to the fauna of the area.
One Australian company, Geeky Sex Toys, has found their own unique way to lend some love and support down under — by designing a donation dildo (featuring a koala and the country’s shape at the base) with 100 percent of profits donated to fire relief efforts.
Priced appropriately at $69 (nice) a piece, the company says they designed the silicone toy and made the plan to donate the proceeds directly to bushfire relief efforts with their neighbors and fellow Australians in mind — particularly the people and critters being displaced and harmed as the destruction continues.
“As you may know, all our toys are handmade in this wonderful country that we call home. We are proud Australians and to see our country burning like this is truly heartbreaking. The catastrophic spread of bushfires is devastating, and our thoughts go out to all the people, wildlife and land that has been affected throughout Australia,” the company writes on their website. “Thank you so much to everyone around the world who has already donated in any way. When you purchase our Down-under Donation Dildo we will give 100% of the profits directly to the bushfire relief efforts. A specific charity has yet to be determined but we will be posting regular updates on our Instagram and Twitter with the amount of money raised and specifically where it is going.”
As of late Sunday, the company reported raising more than $15,000 for the cause and I suppose it’s always the most inspiring to see people channel their own talents, abilities and interests to make a pro-social impact. We have no choice but to appreciate the enthusiasm behind this campaign.
You can pick up their down-under donation dildo (or just make a donation to their cause) on the Geeky Sex Toys website.
