Sue Jaco, at the age of 81, recently discovered Minecraft for the first time, thanks to her grandchildren who guided her on how to play. Captivated by the game, she found herself playing late into the night and soon decided to share her adventures online. This led to the creation of her YouTube channel, GrammaCrackers, which rapidly amassed over 100,000 subscribers within just a month. However, the subscriber count isn't the main focus for Sue. All revenue generated from her videos is dedicated to funding the medical treatment for her 17-year-old grandson, Jack, who is recovering from a rare form of soft tissue cancer after enduring rigorous chemotherapy. Although Jack is now in remission, the overwhelming medical expenses continue to weigh heavily on Sue, who compares them to "having a mortgage on a small house." Her videos are not filled with sensationalism; instead, they feature her gentle voice, slightly awkward mouse movements, and straightforward descriptions explaining her motivations. Rather than seeking sympathy, Sue is simply enjoying her gaming experience while inadvertently uniting thousands of supporters who engage with her content, transforming the platform's algorithms into a valuable resource for assistance.
