81-year-old Minecraft YouTuber thanks fans after fundraising supports grandson’s cancer treatment

GrammaCrackers thanked supporters after tens of thousands of dollars raised to help fund her grandson’s cancer care

Minecraft YouTuber GrammaCrackers has shared an emotional message thanking supporters after they raised tens of thousands of dollars to help cover her grandson’s cancer treatment.

Sue Jacquot, 81, launched her YouTube channel in 2024 after discovering Minecraft while spending time with her grandson Jack, who had been diagnosed with sarcoma cancer.

Using the platform as a way to support him during his treatment, Jacquot began sharing regular gameplay videos under the name GrammaCrackers.

Her channel gained widespread attention and grew to more than 300,000 followers after going viral on social media earlier in 2026.

A GoFundMe linked beneath her videos has since generated nearly $50,000 at the time of writing, in addition to revenue earned from her growing YouTube audience.

Although Jack is now cancer-free, he continues to see doctors as part of his remission. Jacquot has continued posting videos and remains active on the platform.

On January 19, Jacquot posted a tearful update thanking viewers for their support. Fighting back tears, she told fans that their “help is unbelievable.”

“I can’t fathom what you’re doing. It’s beyond my comprehension,” she said, adding that she planned to stream again during the week, with Jack and his mother expected to appear.

Jacquot also acknowledged supporters who created a coin in her name, which reportedly raised more than $75,000 in a single day.

While she said she could not comment in detail, she expressed gratitude for the gesture. “You’re dedicating stuff to my family. That is just incredible,” she said.

In an update shared on the GoFundMe page, Jacquot’s other grandson, Austin, echoed her thanks. “It is hard to express through words how grateful we are as a family,” he added.
