An 81-year-old grandmother has turned Minecraft into something far bigger than a game. After spending long days at the hospital with her 17-year-old grandson during his cancer treatments, she decided to learn the game he loved so they could escape the stress together. That simple idea led her to start a YouTube channel, where viewers instantly connected with her warmth, humor, and determination. Her videos took off, and she’s now earned more than $35,000, money she’s putting directly toward his medical bills. Her community says they didn’t subscribe just for Minecraft, they subscribed for her.
