Hi,my name is Ian Law, but most of you may know me as Shady Dolls on twitch.

I'm a Vtuber who plays games and does silly voices on streams because it's the only thing I can do that doesn't bring me vast amounts of pain on a regular basis.

I suffer from a disease known as Anklyosing Spondylitis. It's a very aggressive and hereditary form of arthritis that causes the bones in my spine to never really stop growing, and eventually fuse together and lose all mobility in my back, neck, and even legs. It's extremely painful and there is no cure for it. There are treatments, but none of them will ever truly take away this pain that I live with day in and day out.

As such, it has caused me alot of issues with seeking a job that is understanding of my situation. I've been job hunting for almost an entire year now and have received nothing but rejections all due to my condition. It's been hard not only on myself but my family as well. My Dad lost his job, my brother is on workers comp, and my mother only recently started a new job at a considerable loss to her previous one just to make sure that not only she and my dad have insurance, but my two younger brothers as well.

I don't qualify for that anymore. I'm purely on my own and make pennies on the dollar from twitch. I am eternally grateful to my followers and good friends who have gone out of there way to help me as much as they can but I simply cannot ask this of them anymore.

Any amount can make a difference. With just this much, I can help alleviate not only my burden, but my families financial burden as well. This is my last hope while I apply for disability and wait for the long and grueling battle that will be.

If you've read this far, God bless you and I appreciate it more than I can ever say.
