Nicholas Stewart, the pseudonymous gamer behind Jynxzi, announced a $100,000 contribution to Maya Higa’s Alveus Sanctuary on September 17, 2026, a move that landed on the front page of the organization’s Twitter feed. The nonprofit, which uses Twitch livestreams to showcase rescued wildlife, credited the donation as a “major boost” to its ongoing expansion plans.
Alveus, founded in 2021 by Maya Higa, serves as a permanent home for animals that cannot survive in the wild, while simultaneously offering education through live animal ambassadors. Since its inception, the sanctuary has partnered with creators to livestream care routines, bringing conservation stories to millions of viewers.
The donation follows a wave of support from the streaming community: Twitch itself pledged $100,000 to Alveus in 2024, and other creators such as Ludwig Ahgren have run charity streams to raise funds. These contributions have already helped the sanctuary add new enclosures and expand its online outreach.
Jynxzi’s praise for Maya’s work—calling it the “coolest thing” a streamer can do—underscores a growing trend of gaming personalities championing environmental causes. Alveus will use the funds to build additional habitats and enhance its livestream content, aiming to reach a broader audience before the end of the year.
