Hi! This is Grant’s mom!! Thank you so much to LTT, Crucial & MakeAWish for Grant’s Wish!! He’s spent over 100 days in the last year in the hospital, had a stroke, tons of chemo & doctors visits. This is just awesome!! 🧡🧡🧡
Hi everybody! I'm Grant from the video. Just wanted to thank LTT and Make-A-Wish for making this possible. If you have any questions, go ahead and ask.
Imagine being asked to participate in someone's make a wish. To be chosen, That must be such a mind trip. not even the honor or the validation of being meaningful to someone, but the idea that out of everything and everyone in the world, you were the one that could bring that extra element of joy to someone in a significantly troubling time.
Especially with leukemia he’s having a hard time I’m sure especially his family with money trouble because of the stuff so, this was a major factor for Linus to want to do it even more
I'm not a famous person or anything, but when I was working for Samsung, I was asked to assist with a Make a Wish for a kid who loved Samsung products. It was so cool getting the chance to spend the day with him and sort of being his personal consultant in everything on our products. I didn't always enjoy that job, there was a lot of things that were wrong with it, but that is one thing I look back on very very fondly from that period of time working there. I still have the photo of my team, and the kid and his family and the make a wish photo that they took during that day. It's a very humbling experience, and really makes you look on a lot of things with a different view.
Yet Linus is professional enough to conduct himself like usual in video even knowing what was on the line.. Everyone gives him shit for dropping stuff, but this speaks mad volumes about the man's character.. Thank you Linus, for giving this kid the literal wish of his life. You are a special man, thank you for everything you have nursed and created over all of these years!!
My older brother back in 2000 asked for a computer to game on as a wish while he was fighting cancer. Seeing this fills me with so much love and happiness. Thank you Linus for granting a wish. Keep kicking leukemia's butt Grant!! And RIP Bro!
Shout out to crucial man, at this point I feel like linus says, " Hey supplier, you are going to give me everything I need including your most expensive gear" and they are just like " OK sir, as your wish commands"
and then they make a ton of money off of the advertisment. Good on them for taking part of make a wish but hardware and priority shipping is a very cheap way to get their name and products in front of people.
@@thomasr1051 yep these 2M views are more valuable marketing-wise than the cost of shipping some hardware, which by itself it's much cheaper for them than for consumers to buy
I To the person reading this comment you are awesome & hope you having a great day My dream is to hit 30K I hope you can help me accomplish my dreams.....
This is probably the nicest thing from LTT. I had M7 Leukemia at 13 months old. Not taking away from Grant, but my Make-A-Wish was to meet Mickey Mouse at Disney World. Coming from me, I can’t thank Make-A-Wish enough for the opportunity. I pray that Grant takes a full recovery and is able to live life it his fullest!
@UClkHl51maEG0H2WmzSdP4zA nope, the 3080ti came out about 8~ months after that retiring video happened. and given the time, the happening wasn't happening (well it was, but wasn't a concern at all) so pretty sure this is a seperate kid.
Wow that is awesome! Make-A-Wish is really a great thing! Unfortunately my mom has AML in her retirement years which is if I recall is rare in adults. This video and your story brings a tear to my eye
I can tell you from personal experience that the type of Leukemia he has is more deadly the older you get it. I got it when I was 11 in 1995, and I was given only 5% chance of survival with the treatment they had back then. And mine was in the beginning stages when it was caught. Not sure how things have advanced in the 25 years since then, but the worse part is the time leading up to the Maintenance Program, and it can REALLY suck. Me personally, I was nearly done with my treatments by the time M-A-W reached out to me. My wish: give a wish to someone that is terminal in stage 4, as my wish has already been granted, which was beating Leukemia.
Life eh...all any humans can do is fight and keep moving along. Some of us have it rough but we need to keep pushing. That guarantees the best possible outcome regardless the cumstances.
Well it would have been nicer if Linus didnt need Crucial to sponsor the build and do it himself. He said it himself without the sponsor,it was just going to be hanging out.(online hanging out) How nice of him....
Grant seems like a really cool guy. After all he's been through, I can't think of anyone more deserving of this than him. The Make-A-Wish Foundation does brilliant work.
To Grant: as a fellow Acute Lymphoblastic leukemia survivor, keep your head up, stay positive, and the best medicine for anyone is happiness! I know it's a rollercoaster ride, and it's not always easy, but make sure you find what makes you unique and hold onto it. It took me a long time to find that, but once I did it just seemed like I could beat any obstacle life could throw at me. Stay strong!
@@soulife8383 when I started, they gave me Vincristine, Methatrexate-7, and Daunarubicin, but I'm highly allergic to Daunarubicin, so had to be on a IV pump of Benadryl while getting it. Vincristine was still in its final stages of experimental when I was getting it, and for a while it was outlawed as being too harsh for children. I found out the hard way I am allergic to all Glycopeptides, including Vancomycin, Gentamicin, and others. And I knew before I was sick that I was allergic to Penicillin.
@@TheGamer-hy4om I was also Lymphoblast free after 1 month of treatment, but my counts were only 2800 in the first place, I was in the beginning stages when it was caught, so my immune system wasn't wrecked yet, just had bloody noses a lot. They figured since I hadn't been fighting it long, I could handle a more aggressive approach
I also had ALL (acute lymphoblastic leukaemia) as a kid. I was diagnosed at 8 years old. I was interested in computers and spent a lot of time messing around on the family Windows 98 pc. So my wish was for a laptop so I'd have a computer to take with me on hospital trips. I'll never forget the first time I booted it up and saw that fresh XP desktop. So seeing Linus bring some light on the disease and helping out a fellow tech nerd cancer survivor makes me happy. Linus might not realise this but Grant will remember and cherish this long after this PC is obsolete and broken. Thanks to everyone involved in the video.

You're also a strong person :)
As someone who is a make-a-wish child myself (due to Shone's Syndrome and multiple open heart surgeries), seeing this made me smile. Enjoy your sweet rig Grant, and keep your head held high - You got this!
As a non-Hodgkin's lymphoma survivor (in remission almost 30 years now) and a Make-A-Wish recipient - this made me cry - and I'm not one to cry often. Thanks Make-A-Wish, LTT and Crucial... this is very touching.
First and foremost congrats on the remission. Secondly I shed tears on all of these make a wish videos. Its absolutely amazing how companies come through to make other people's days. Yes, of course, it is absolutely great advertising and probably cheaper than normal advertising, but regardless it is awesome. Society can be weird sometimes and this is just great.
@@noahc.209 I was 6 at the time... I wanted to go to Disneyland in Florida for a day... they sent my parents, a friend and I for an entire week! Something I'll never forget and always be greatful for Make-A-Wish!
I have to admit that I legit cried throughout this episode. Thank you Linus and team. My sister has leukemia and has been battling it since she was 11, so this hit so close to home and my heart. Honestly, this shows me how human / real you all are. Thank you for having hearts
Forget the 3080 Ti. Look at that beautiful retro consoles and TV in 16:02. And yes, PS2/XB/GC generation is retro now. I love seeing young people interested in older videogames.
@@ibelieveinjesusinmyspareti2861 The people that grew up with those consoles are in their mid-20's or early 30's now, so not very old. Only about 1/3 of their lives.
Hey guys! I was blessed enough to survive this exact same type of Leukemia when I was 4 (back in 1997, living in Guatemala). Remember to always give actual support to the people's families in this situations. My parents always talked about how one of the most difficult thing for them was people just deciding to ignore the situation they were in. Be mindful of other people. Best of luck for the kid and his family.
@@iudexe3103 I think aside from a high demand to see her, Linus tries to have the new crew stay out of the spotlight for at least a year. She ahs covered one or two videos or appears in the background. But since she mostly handles theirsocial media and graphics, I think shes also busy.
Hi Alex,nice to see you here. More tech channels are doing charity means more people are happy. It decrease the stress of the world and scalper prices. Hope to see more of this.
Tbf he seems pretty well off. He has like every console in existence, 3 monitors, a racing setup, vr, Yamaha hs8s, and a sick room. Money doesn't seem to be an issue for him
@@theSWBFman honestly I do think his parents consider getting him everything even if they struggle to get it maybe as like idk how to explain it but like because of his sickness
It was so great watching this! In 2017 i was able to choose my own Make A Wish because i had cancer in my right leg called osteosarcoma, Wich is a pretty rare bone cancer that mostly affects children. The Make A Wish i chose was to go to Stockholm Sweden and it was absolutely an amazing trip! I love watching videos of kids like me having their wish made, especially by TH-camrs!
Yeah, my aunt was just diagnosed with it near the beginning of the covid pandemic. My brother thought the symptoms were unregistered covid symptoms but as soon as he said them, my first thought was some form of cancer. Shame from reports survival rate rapidly diminishes with age. But at least she has a 6 digit job and is one of the managers at a local hospitals so she will always have access and income to deal with it if she has to.
literally one of the nicest things ive seen in a while you rock linus there's a reason people love you hint: it's NOT your PC building skills (or should I say PC part dropping skills)
20:00 Gotta love a CRT, this guy has the kind of collection I want to have. 21:25 And this was a cool answer, I'd like to hear more of Linus' views and philosophies on life and tech: Linus Life Tips
Like 5 days ago I delivered 40 pizzas to a Make a Wish kid, he wanted to have a pizza party and they spent like 1200 on just the pizza, it filled two of our cars. It was great
Out of all the tech TH-camrs, Linus is hands down one of the best. Always a joy to watch. Big thanks to Linus, his team, and Crucial for making this kid’s day!
considering you said was, I'm assuming you lost your child. I'm incredibly sorry for your loss. I'm sure you treasure the time you spent with them. If they're still with you, I'm incredibly glad they've made it & I wish them a fulfilling life and a prosperous future.
with challenging situations like that, you either get broken or have a great outlook on life. You definitely can hear it in her voice. At least, its my limited experience. My mom got broken from all the shit happening to me and her but she's working on getting back on track.
I had a friend with a brain tumor, he was like a little brother for me and I am really close to his family, unfortunately he passed away before his life really started and it feels good seeing you do this for this young man. I hope he keeps on trucking and makes it out and lives a long prosperous life, big love Linus and LTT
When I was going through chemo last year, all I wanted to do was sit around and game. It’s an amazing way to keep your brain active, when you physically can’t keep going. I hope Grant’s recovery goes smoothly. Let the healing begin!
This was priceless. You can tell the character of a person when they devote their time and money to help those less fortunate. LTT as a whole and Linus in particular is a great human being. That video chat was worth more to that boy than all of the material things that were sent. You are an incredible person and I wish you much success in everything that you do. God Bless.
My eyes were watering throughout this video. How awesome LTT is for assembling this together, Crucial for sponsoring the products, and overall making a kids wish from M-A-W come true. Super wholesome. Love it. Edit: At the end of the video it looked like Linus was having a hard time holding it together. I too was the same throughout the video.
Make a wish is always such an honor for the celebrity as well. Congratulations Linus. You were given the chance to make someone happy, and you went above and beyond. Good Luck Grant!
I'm very sure he has had at least douzens of requests already, but he is the type of guy to do it for the person wishing and not in public. This time, he wanted it to happen at all cost, so he made a video to make it happen and get a sponsor. I am pretty sure that's how Linus is.
I’m glad Grant’s wish could be granted and what a great group of organizations to grant it. I hope Grant enjoys the system and I wish him the best In his health and any further treatments.
As someone who has gone on a make a wish trip before, this is really awesome Linus. Thank you so much for doing this. Great charity for a great TH-camr
What a good looking rig! The colorful side actually makes the RGB look great. I normally don't like rgb. I was a sick kid growing up, and I got a computer for my make-a-wish, too (in 1998). It changed my life. I'm 33 and still here, so keep fighting Grant, and keep gaming!
I hope Grant has many years ahead of him, he seems like a good kid. I think it's really great that Linus and LTT did this. Brought a few tears to my eyes.
This video was great and wholesome. Nowadays a rarely find myself liking videos on TH-cam (let alone commenting) but this one deserved it. Great job Linus, great job LTT!
I love when Linus does things like this. He gets to build a rig that he enjoys building (and is fun to watch), this kid gets this awesome experience... so awesome!
He was getting some super hate over that communist build for hasan piker (The Political Streamer who said America Deserved 9/11 also is Cenks nephew from The Young Turks) this should help cause Linus really is a good guy and people who havnt seen his vids just judge him off that vid.
damn dawg i appreciate Linus so much. Ive been watching him for years! as i see him get older i look at myself too and see myself getting older! i know it sounds dumb but man it feels like hes a close friend of mine and as i keep watching all of his videos i just appreciate him even more
Heh, yeah I certainly hope I don't ever have to face what this kid is dealing with, but if we share something in common, it's our reaction to gifts. I could win the Powerball and my reaction would probably a very calm and subdued, "Cool."
At first i was disappointed when i realized that this wasn't another build with parts bought from Wish, but then i found out that it was better. Much better!.
I loved the animation of the the 3080 banner. Having the banner be flipped and then flipping it when Linus flips the box around was absolutely genius and the editor responsible should get praise!
This is such a heartwarming video. It’s incredible that Linus has turned his passion into his business and this shows how much of an impact he has on so many people. Hope Grant loves his setup!
It was nice to see this. I have been pretty down on myself lately. Just dealing with a lot of stress and the fact that my PC has been dead for weeks now with no way to get another one. It's nice to see all the great work you do. The fact that you're kind and thoughtful and willing to help people out. I'm glad that people like you exist in this world and it gives me some hope that not all people suck. Thank you for being a great example of what people should be.
I've been watching LTT since the beginning and this is the first video I've ever commented on. I really appreciate what linus and his team did here. You guys are awesome!
Since the beginning, reeeeally, is that even possible? That would mean you've been watching since they were filming fr... Since Linus was worki... Since... OH NO OH SHIT IM SO OLD YOU'RE SO OLD IM SO SORRY
That was such a wonderful example of how to speak to a kid in something like this. No dumbing down, no different voice or personality, no pulled punches. So good!
its amazing how genuinely happy linus was in this video. sometimes we forget the creators on the screen are people too. im really happy to see linus and grant get along and the big smile on both of their faces
This is wholesome af. On a different note, given Madison's image as their social media coordinator, it's easy to forget she's actually an artist with a design degree.
BEST. LINUS. VIDEO. EVER. It’s unfortunate I can only give this 1 upvote. I have experience with family and Make A Wish and this is awesome! Would love to see more like this in the future. I’m not crying, you are. Thank you!!!!!
“Maintenance program for his meds”. I’ve seen those. We lost my mom at the end of august due to lung cancer. It was a slow painful process but, she never gave up, she never quit and smiled till the end. I hope Grant never gives up and I hope he doesn’t meet his end. Keep your chin up buddy and fight the good fight till your arms fall off.
Grant was so humble. He said here is all of the new stuff I got and starts with showing off the mouse lol. All of that crazy expensive gear and he is thankful for even the mouse. Hope everything works out for the best for him. He seems like a good person.
Thank you for making this video, Linus and the LTT crew. It's one of the rare recent instances in which I've been able to break through my despondency and be truly happy for someone else. I'm 22 and I've been battling brain cancer for 4 years now, so I think I have a pretty good idea what Grant's been through. Seeing his wish granted and the joy it brought him hit me hard and moved me. I'd love more videos in the same style.
Wow, he already has every console under the sun too and a VR headset, this kid is balling. And how generous of Linus to upgrade the initial 3060 Ti to a 3080 Ti, his framerates will enjoy that.
@@catriona_drummond There's kids out there with cancer who have no PC or console, all of this going to a kid who literally has everything is kind of a joke.
@@jasonnikolic i have survived ALL and i've had one console (PS's then xboxes usually through a standard definition TV) my whole childhood. I am lucky enough to say that i survived and am able to work, and have my own R5 3600/RX5700 system now. I remember i got some pictures from NASA and Manchester United thanks to my social worker. The rich benefit the rich, just like for every government of every country. Linus loves capitalism.. what can i say.
I truly believe that his actual wish was to meet Linus. While he was appreciative of all the gifts, you could tell it was the videocall with Linus that made him smile and what he was excited about the most.
Having a child who is special needs and on the Make A Wish list this video hits home. I give you major props and thank you for taking on this kid's wish. Keep up the great content Linus!
You can Cleary see Linus is his biggest inspiration he prepared questions to ask for his future, I’d say give him a job at LTT that might be a bit to much but man he has such retro game consoles and is basically one of you but a younger version
Really great to see you doing things for make a wish my sister passed away from leukemia a few year ago but while she was recovering from chemo in Sloan Kettering in NYC she was granted one wish from make a wish foundation and it made her so happy .. you guys are really appreciated and it shows just what type of people you are have a wonderful 2022 you deserve it ltt
I think that case is actually good for him, as when he inevitably wants to upgrade, it'll be MUCH nicer having a case that's easy to work in. Especially if he has to trouble shoot lol.
@@4kmarvelclips454 my friend got a wish from make a wish. He had leukemia. He's recovered now just has to go to the hospital once a month for check ups. Idk where ur getting this info from.
I’ve watched this video before, but it’s just so wholesome. Grant seems like a great kid I hope he enjoyed the beautiful PC and is continuing to play. Also, great idea on having him put the GPU in, building even a bit of your PC really puts the personal in PC. Great video, hope Grant is healthy and will enjoy for years to come. His mom is awesome too 😂
Legit so many reasons why Linus is one of my idols and he does this and it just makes me respect him and the LTT team more, and of course linus was gonna do something even more special than just hang out, absaloute Ledgend :)
The alternative being, paying massive fines for not enrolling your child in public school? lmfao. What a dumb comment, that's like saying, "I encourage people to use the road becasue it's the safest way to drive your car". Linus is a multimillionaire who definitely has his kids in private school and is ready to pay for that ivy league or private university. His kids will get to go to the nicest schools and get a high quality education.
I hope this young man keeps his remission so he can make use of his ultimate wish PC. Make-a-wish is an awesome fund and makes us healthy "normal" people feel slightly jealous haha

As someone who is a make-a-wish child myself (due to Shone's Syndrome and multiple open heart surgeries), seeing this made me smile. Enjoy your sweet rig Grant, and keep your head held high - You got this!
Guess your mom didn't gather the right PR for a free gaming rig.
@@ManuSaraswat why fkin so toxic? Are you maybe jealous of dying little kids?
@@Cewu chill he was being sarcastic :)
@@miciso666 yeah but it was still an awful thing to say. I chuckled at it a bit too but it is still a fkin sad thing to say.
Ahh yes, hsvr cancer, get anything you want then.
As a non-Hodgkin's lymphoma survivor (in remission almost 30 years now) and a Make-A-Wish recipient - this made me cry - and I'm not one to cry often.
Thanks Make-A-Wish, LTT and Crucial... this is very touching.
If you don’t mind me asking, what did you wish for? Just curious, also so happy your doing well now
First and foremost congrats on the remission. Secondly I shed tears on all of these make a wish videos. Its absolutely amazing how companies come through to make other people's days. Yes, of course, it is absolutely great advertising and probably cheaper than normal advertising, but regardless it is awesome. Society can be weird sometimes and this is just great.
@@noahc.209 I was 6 at the time... I wanted to go to Disneyland in Florida for a day... they sent my parents, a friend and I for an entire week! Something I'll never forget and always be greatful for Make-A-Wish!
Non Hodgkins stage 4 survivor here and make a wish receiver. I asked for a alienware laptop maxed out. Still play on it 8 years later.
Glad you’re still with us bud, f*ck cancer
I have to admit that I legit cried throughout this episode. Thank you Linus and team. My sister has leukemia and has been battling it since she was 11, so this hit so close to home and my heart.
Honestly, this shows me how human / real you all are. Thank you for having hearts
Forget the 3080 Ti. Look at that beautiful retro consoles and TV in 16:02. And yes, PS2/XB/GC generation is retro now. I love seeing young people interested in older videogames.
You are old
I've kept my parent's old CRT around just for playing ~SNES era games. LCDs make those games look terrible
PS2 is retro now? God I'm getting old
@@ibelieveinjesusinmyspareti2861 The people that grew up with those consoles are in their mid-20's or early 30's now, so not very old. Only about 1/3 of their lives.
I have the original Super Nintendo and game boy.
Hey guys! I was blessed enough to survive this exact same type of Leukemia when I was 4 (back in 1997, living in Guatemala). Remember to always give actual support to the people's families in this situations. My parents always talked about how one of the most difficult thing for them was people just deciding to ignore the situation they were in. Be mindful of other people. Best of luck for the kid and his family.
I Love how Madison made the graphics for this, 2 years ago, she got the similar treatment on Rog Reboot. Cheers Linus!
I thought she was fired since I never see her anymore in the videos
@@iudexe3103 She is in a different Work Department that's why she isn't in videos.
@@iudexe3103 I think aside from a high demand to see her, Linus tries to have the new crew stay out of the spotlight for at least a year. She ahs covered one or two videos or appears in the background. But since she mostly handles theirsocial media and graphics, I think shes also busy.
Feels like Madison's a secret weapon they bring out only on special occasions. So yeah - getting an LTT Madison computer side panel - pretty awesome.
Who?
This was a really cool Episode ! 👌
agreed
yes
You know you’ve made it as an influence when a kid’s one wish is the meet you. Kudos, Linus
Great build for Great cause. I hope he enjoys it for years to come.
ayy fancy seeing you here
Northridgefix is here 🤩🤩
Hi Alex,nice to see you here. More tech channels are doing charity means more people are happy. It decrease the stress of the world and scalper prices. Hope to see more of this.
Should we expect a collab soon? 😊
I cringed when Linus said "for years to come" to a Make-A-Wish recipient.
It kind of hits harder realizing how much bigger he smiles chilling with Linus vs getting computer worth as much as my car.
I think once you made peace with your own death, it's probably impossible to experience joy through materialism
@Waldel Martell this isnt about you, end of discussion.
@@killavids1 We can all only guess at the kid's experiences and our own are the most readily available proxy.
Tbf he seems pretty well off. He has like every console in existence, 3 monitors, a racing setup, vr, Yamaha hs8s, and a sick room. Money doesn't seem to be an issue for him
@@theSWBFman honestly I do think his parents consider getting him everything even if they struggle to get it maybe as like idk how to explain it but like because of his sickness
It was so great watching this! In 2017 i was able to choose my own Make A Wish because i had cancer in my right leg called osteosarcoma, Wich is a pretty rare bone cancer that mostly affects children. The Make A Wish i chose was to go to Stockholm Sweden and it was absolutely an amazing trip! I love watching videos of kids like me having their wish made, especially by TH-camrs!
What did you wish for?
@@sovereignshark said in the comment, but stockholm sweden
@@tannervea1922 cool
Why Stockholm out of every place?
@@mr.inconspicuous6395 Have family there
As an acute lymphoblastic leukaemia survivor myself, incredibly heartwarming to see this
bless you
Good luck! It got my dad unfortunately. Great to hear when people beat that god awful cancer!
Yeah, my aunt was just diagnosed with it near the beginning of the covid pandemic. My brother thought the symptoms were unregistered covid symptoms but as soon as he said them, my first thought was some form of cancer. Shame from reports survival rate rapidly diminishes with age. But at least she has a 6 digit job and is one of the managers at a local hospitals so she will always have access and income to deal with it if she has to.
I'm happy you survived, friend.

Though his dropping skills means everything falls into place perfectly
bro literally said that it was only going to be a meet. The only reason why the kid got a PC was because of Crucial lmaoo...
20:00 Gotta love a CRT, this guy has the kind of collection I want to have. 21:25 And this was a cool answer, I'd like to hear more of Linus' views and philosophies on life and tech: Linus Life Tips
When Grant was just considering buying somt LTT merch then Linus sent him the whole store.
Get well, Grant!
Like 5 days ago I delivered 40 pizzas to a Make a Wish kid, he wanted to have a pizza party and they spent like 1200 on just the pizza, it filled two of our cars. It was great
Hope you got a big tip 😂

As someone who was the dad of a make a wish kid this makes me happy as can be. Thank you LTT, you all rock.
considering you said was, I'm assuming you lost your child. I'm incredibly sorry for your loss. I'm sure you treasure the time you spent with them.
If they're still with you, I'm incredibly glad they've made it & I wish them a fulfilling life and a prosperous future.
His mom seems like the sweetest person ever.
with challenging situations like that, you either get broken or have a great outlook on life. You definitely can hear it in her voice. At least, its my limited experience. My mom got broken from all the shit happening to me and her but she's working on getting back on track.
She needs a stealth hoodie too, what a sweet person ♥️
I had a friend with a brain tumor, he was like a little brother for me and I am really close to his family, unfortunately he passed away before his life really started and it feels good seeing you do this for this young man. I hope he keeps on trucking and makes it out and lives a long prosperous life, big love Linus and LTT

So sorry for your loss man. R.I.P.🙏❤️🕊
This is amazing! Linus is our super hero now!!!
Kidney expert approved
Ok
He’s always been a hero :)
Haha kidney expert
LET'S GO BRANDON!
When I was going through chemo last year, all I wanted to do was sit around and game. It’s an amazing way to keep your brain active, when you physically can’t keep going. I hope Grant’s recovery goes smoothly. Let the healing begin!
This was priceless. You can tell the character of a person when they devote their time and money to help those less fortunate. LTT as a whole and Linus in particular is a great human being. That video chat was worth more to that boy than all of the material things that were sent. You are an incredible person and I wish you much success in everything that you do. God Bless.
My eyes were watering throughout this video. How awesome LTT is for assembling this together, Crucial for sponsoring the products, and overall making a kids wish from M-A-W come true. Super wholesome. Love it.
Edit: At the end of the video it looked like Linus was having a hard time holding it together. I too was the same throughout the video.
Make a wish is always such an honor for the celebrity as well. Congratulations Linus. You were given the chance to make someone happy, and you went above and beyond.
Good Luck Grant!
Linus talked about a make a wish request he had when he did the I'm thinking of retiring 10 million subs stream
I'm very sure he has had at least douzens of requests already, but he is the type of guy to do it for the person wishing and not in public. This time, he wanted it to happen at all cost, so he made a video to make it happen and get a sponsor. I am pretty sure that's how Linus is.
@Raize sigma male mindset 😎
@Ultra Wide Gaming Well of course he could pay it, but you can't reasonably gift everyone a Computer who asks
I’m glad Grant’s wish could be granted and what a great group of organizations to grant it. I hope Grant enjoys the system and I wish him the best In his health and any further treatments.
As someone who has gone on a make a wish trip before, this is really awesome Linus. Thank you so much for doing this. Great charity for a great TH-camr
That screwdriver prototype is 100% the most valuable thing in this package.
What a good looking rig! The colorful side actually makes the RGB look great. I normally don't like rgb.
I was a sick kid growing up, and I got a computer for my make-a-wish, too (in 1998). It changed my life. I'm 33 and still here, so keep fighting Grant, and keep gaming!
This is heart warming to say the least. Thank you LTT and Crucial for making this all possible.
I hope Grant has many years ahead of him, he seems like a good kid. I think it's really great that Linus and LTT did this. Brought a few tears to my eyes.
Hearing that whole family gather around and be so excited for Grant was so heartwarming!
The way Linus treats his fans and community says soo much about his character...we need more guys like Linus.
Watching the WAN Shows alone tells so much about his character already, he's such a great guy! This episode just proved it, again.
This video was great and wholesome. Nowadays a rarely find myself liking videos on TH-cam (let alone commenting) but this one deserved it. Great job Linus, great job LTT!
This made me tear up. So awesome to see his mom film like it's Christmas morning! Thanks LTT for "Grant"ing this wish!
I thought the retro console setup was cool, and then he pointed his camera to the handhelds! Banger collection + Super Metroid's a good choice
I love when Linus does things like this. He gets to build a rig that he enjoys building (and is fun to watch), this kid gets this awesome experience... so awesome!
He was getting some super hate over that communist build for hasan piker (The Political Streamer who said America Deserved 9/11 also is Cenks nephew from The Young Turks) this should help cause Linus really is a good guy and people who havnt seen his vids just judge him off that vid.
@@ZeroDrizzy But most of the people hating are just bunch of boomers not understanding jokes and what humour is
It’s also super wholesome. I seriously need some of that wholesome stuff in my life.
damn dawg i appreciate Linus so much. Ive been watching him for years! as i see him get older i look at myself too and see myself getting older! i know it sounds dumb but man it feels like hes a close friend of mine and as i keep watching all of his videos i just appreciate him even more
Grant bought a CRT just to experience retro games!? Ummm, please hire Grant if possible, haha, he sounds really cool :)
that was the first thing i saw in that clip lmao. things sick.
I liked how his mom is talking with such an excitement.
Heh, yeah I certainly hope I don't ever have to face what this kid is dealing with, but if we share something in common, it's our reaction to gifts. I could win the Powerball and my reaction would probably a very calm and subdued, "Cool."
If only she knew how to record like a normal person
At first i was disappointed when i realized that this wasn't another build with parts bought from Wish, but then i found out that it was better. Much better!.
That’s what I thought when I read the title, but I agree this is way much better
Same
This was such a wholesome video! Congrats on your new PC Grant!!
I loved the animation of the the 3080 banner. Having the banner be flipped and then flipping it when Linus flips the box around was absolutely genius and the editor responsible should get praise!
Yes! It’s the little things that count
They made the compass needle spin: th-cam.com/video/mUF4afxMpQk/w-d-xo.html
This is such a heartwarming video. It’s incredible that Linus has turned his passion into his business and this shows how much of an impact he has on so many people. Hope Grant loves his setup!
The mom is the nicest and most encouraging mom ever!
It was nice to see this. I have been pretty down on myself lately. Just dealing with a lot of stress and the fact that my PC has been dead for weeks now with no way to get another one. It's nice to see all the great work you do. The fact that you're kind and thoughtful and willing to help people out. I'm glad that people like you exist in this world and it gives me some hope that not all people suck. Thank you for being a great example of what people should be.

Linus definitely outdid himself this time. Best of luck to Grant and his family. This is my new favorite episode of LTT. Great job guys.
This has to be one of the best TH-cam videos I've seen this year! I'm so genuinely happy for the guy, love his gaming room too!
I've been watching LTT since the beginning and this is the first video I've ever commented on. I really appreciate what linus and his team did here. You guys are awesome!
Since the beginning, reeeeally, is that even possible? That would mean you've been watching since they were filming fr... Since Linus was worki... Since... OH NO OH SHIT IM SO OLD YOU'RE SO OLD IM SO SORRY
@@ellabun shut up
That was such a wonderful example of how to speak to a kid in something like this. No dumbing down, no different voice or personality, no pulled punches. So good!
Thank you, Linus. Thank you, Crucial. This is the ultimate reason to build anything and I am moved to see what you have done. Thank you so much.
I can tell how much energy linus puts into being the best for his team and for us, but also himself. your reflections let that shine. love you linus
its amazing how genuinely happy linus was in this video. sometimes we forget the creators on the screen are people too. im really happy to see linus and grant get along and the big smile on both of their faces
What Linus said about idols is a way of thinking I’ve aligned with for some time now, take someone’s legacy and try to emulate it
This is wholesome af. On a different note, given Madison's image as their social media coordinator, it's easy to forget she's actually an artist with a design degree.

It’s unfortunate I can only give this 1 upvote. I have experience with family and Make A Wish and this is awesome! Would love to see more like this in the future. I’m not crying, you are. Thank you!!!!!
The kid already had every console. Not really that big of a deal tbh
@@ShivamJha00 yea you're right
“Maintenance program for his meds”. I’ve seen those. We lost my mom at the end of august due to lung cancer. It was a slow painful process but, she never gave up, she never quit and smiled till the end. I hope Grant never gives up and I hope he doesn’t meet his end. Keep your chin up buddy and fight the good fight till your arms fall off.
Very heart warming to watch this, enjoy the toys and best of luck with your health Grant! Thanks Linus for helping make Grant’s wish come true
Grant was so humble. He said here is all of the new stuff I got and starts with showing off the mouse lol. All of that crazy expensive gear and he is thankful for even the mouse. Hope everything works out for the best for him. He seems like a good person.
I like how the thing he was most excited about was his name being on it, gotta love the little things
Thank you for making this video, Linus and the LTT crew. It's one of the rare recent instances in which I've been able to break through my despondency and be truly happy for someone else. I'm 22 and I've been battling brain cancer for 4 years now, so I think I have a pretty good idea what Grant's been through. Seeing his wish granted and the joy it brought him hit me hard and moved me. I'd love more videos in the same style.
Wow, he already has every console under the sun too and a VR headset, this kid is balling. And how generous of Linus to upgrade the initial 3060 Ti to a 3080 Ti, his framerates will enjoy that.
When you need Make A Wish to get a 3080 ti!
@@catriona_drummond There's kids out there with cancer who have no PC or console, all of this going to a kid who literally has everything is kind of a joke.

I remember i got some pictures from NASA and Manchester United thanks to my social worker. The rich benefit the rich, just like for every government of every country. Linus loves capitalism.. what can i say.
I truly believe that his actual wish was to meet Linus. While he was appreciative of all the gifts, you could tell it was the videocall with Linus that made him smile and what he was excited about the most.
@@RolandsSh Agree, I am pretty sure he had already a good setup, he had VR and a racing setup.

I am glad that Linus still got to do something for Grant, even if they did not get to meet in person. This made me happy!
You can Cleary see Linus is his biggest inspiration he prepared questions to ask for his future, I’d say give him a job at LTT that might be a bit to much but man he has such retro game consoles and is basically one of you but a younger version
We handing out jobs to everyone who appears in videos now?
Really great to see you doing things for make a wish my sister passed away from leukemia a few year ago but while she was recovering from chemo in Sloan Kettering in NYC she was granted one wish from make a wish foundation and it made her so happy .. you guys are really appreciated and it shows just what type of people you are have a wonderful 2022 you deserve it ltt
no disputing Linus has a heart. Make a Wish organization is amazing!
8:18 I literally laughed out loud, thank you so much to the editor for that little spin!
I think that case is actually good for him, as when he inevitably wants to upgrade, it'll be MUCH nicer having a case that's easy to work in. Especially if he has to trouble shoot lol.
