Over the past three months, the world has been left devastated by the ongoing bushfires that are currently raging across Australia. And in the last two weeks especially, many people have been doing what they can in order to raise funds for the fire services battling the blazes and those who have been personally affected.
From celebrities like Pink and Elton John donating huge sums of their personal fortune to an influencer raising funds by selling intimate selfies for $10 a picture - people are doing what they can to help Australia in their time of need.
Comedian Celeste Barber - whose campaign has raised millions for the Rural Fire Service in Australia - had some strong words for the world's billionaires:Now, a company by the name of Geeky Sex Toys are doing what they can to help those in need, by releasing a limited edition sex toy, with 100% of profits going to help the ongoing bushfire relief efforts in Australia.
The product's official description reads:
"Our country has been devastated by bushfires and we need your help! Purchase this toy and 100% of the profits will be donated directly to the bushfire relief efforts. This silicone toy was designed specifically as our way to help out our neighbours in need. Buying a sex toy has never felt so good"
In addition, Geeky Sex Toys writes:
"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.
"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."
And the product is selling well! Taking to their official Instagram account, Geeky Sex Toys revealed that sales have already hit $5,000 in the first two days. They stated:
"Hey naughty nerds! It's been less than 48 hours since the launch of our Down-Under Donation Dildo & we've been absolutely amazed at the response. We're extremely proud to announce that so far we've raised over $5,000 for the bushfire relief efforts! Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who has bought one! It means the world to us, not only as artists, but also as Australians. We'd LOVE to hit $10K tho, so if you haven't already got one, please do! Not only will you be getting a high quality toy, but also helping those in need!"
But the sales didn't stop there...
Amazingly, just a few hours ago, the company provided yet another update, this time revealing that they had surpassed the $15,000 mark! They wrote:
"We have now raised over $15,000 for the bushfire relief efforts! We want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has contributed so far. We're so happy to be able to help our country in this unique way."
