Trainwreck announces $250k mental health fund for Twitch community

Popular Twitch streamer Trainwreck has announced his plans to invest $250k into a mental healthcare fund with a focus on the Twitch community and is calling on other large creators to do the same. 

Since he began streaming in 2014, TrainwrecksTV has amassed over 1.8 million followers on Twitch. As he has grown in popularity, he’s also grown a name for himself as a philanthropist.

Train has paid for others’ hospital bills and surprised an 80-year-old streamer with over $10,000, all thanks to his popularity and insane winnings from gambling streams.

Now, the Twitch streamer has announced his plans to invest $250k into a mental healthcare fund, calling for other creators to join him in this “movement.”

Tarkov focused streamer and YouTuber Onepeg said: “Yo train this is a huge dude. As someone who has been incredibly open about the taboos associated with mental health and sharing it/trying to help others, this is amazing.

“Fantastic effort. If I can help in any way, hit me up.”

While FaZe Kalei and Twitch streamer Froste echoed Onepegs thoughts with similar comments.

Since Train mentioned this first post is just a general announcement, it’s safe to expect more updates closer to the launch of his new project.
