Maidstone, Kent Apr 18, 2023 (Issuewire.com) - Vigorous Soul, whose real name is Ishy, is a UK Army veteran and popular Twitch streamer who has announced the launch of a fundraising campaign to help him fund the training required for his dog Ana, become a service dog. The campaign aims to raise £3,000 to pay for the extensive training required for Vigorous Soul's companion to assist him with his debilitating conditions.
Ishy, who served with The Rifles Regiment in the UK Army, suffers from complex regional pain syndrome to his lower legs and facet degenerative spinal disease which make it difficult for him to move around and lead a normal life. These conditions cause chronic pain and mobility issues that require constant attention and assistance and also means he needs to use a wheelchair to aid his mobility. The service dog will provide him with the support he needs to live comfortably.
With his military experience, Vigorous Soul understands the value of having a trained partner in any operation or mission. He wants to replicate that bond with his companion and create a new level of independence for himself.
"I have always been a fighter, and I refuse to let these conditions define me," says Vigorous Soul. "I believe that with the right training, I can conquer this challenge and realise my full potential."
Ana is currently 19 weeks old and I have until she turns 6 months to hopefully raise the funds to pay for the training. Donors can contribute any amount they see fit, and all donations will go directly towards the cost of training the service dog. Supporters can follow Vigorous Soul on his Twitch channel, https://twitch.tv/VigorousSoul where he regularly live streams and will provide updates on the progress of the campaign.
"I am grateful for the support of my Twitch community and everyone who contributes to this campaign," says Vigorous Soul. "It means the world to me to know that there are people out there who want to help me achieve my goals."
