We all know that playing video games is pure escapism, that we can play as footballers, drive fast cars, be dropped into world war two, become guitar heroes; the main thing is that we can turn the console or computer off and return to our normal everyday lives at the switch of a button. But what if you didn't have that normal everyday life to return to? Imagine for a second that you are one of the millions of people around the world afflicted by rare and, and in many cases, fatal diseases or afflictions that stops you and your loved ones from having this normal everyday life. These 'orphan diseases' are a long long way from the lives you and I lead and escapism is nothing compared to getting through each day.
 
Here's where we can help.
 
Look at your games collection, I'm willing to bet you anything that there are games in there that you haven't played for a good while and probably never will again. Here's where Donate Games comes in – from the site you can either donate or buy games; with each game donated or bought, these 'orphan diseases' get critical and much needed funding in helping people try to live as normal a life as possible.
 
So the next time you're looking for a new game or want to get rid of an old or rarely played game, remember Donate Games; you get a new title or you pass on a game you no longer play and you do your bit in making life a little better for others.
