Streamer left in tears as Pokimane donates to fiancee\u2019s cancer treatment Twitch streamer Alec Ludford was brought to tears after an emotional moment when fellow broadcaster Imane \u2018Pokimane\u2019 Anys donated $500 to help with his fiance\u2019s cancer treatments. For many, streaming on Twitch is an opportunity to show off their gameplay or fun moments, but for IRL streamer Alec and his fianc\u00e9e Stefany, their recent streams have been focused around the treatment she is receiving after being diagnosed with Leukemia. Since her diagnosis, Stefany has been undergoing chemotherapy and has been in hospital since October 2, as she continues to fight against her disease with the support of her husband Alec and their Twitch community. Alec and Stefany warmed the hearts of many on November 30 when he proposed to his girlfriend in their hospital room, telling her how proud he was of her and telling her that he wants to spend his life with her. \u201cI love you, and this is a sign of my commitment to you,\u201d he said, while Twitch chat celebrated the proposal, with Stefany proudly wearing his great-grandmother\u2019s ring. It seems that this moment caught the attention of one of Twitch\u2019s biggest stars, as Pokimane stopped by their stream on November 4 to offer some money to help cover the costs of Stefany\u2019s treatment. \u201c$500 from Pokimane,\u201d he read from his phone. \u201cWow, thank you so very much. Thank you for that. You have no idea what that means for both of us, thank you.\u201d Stefany joked: \u201cNow Alec\u2019s going to leave me to go to the casino!\u201d As it stands, Stefany is still undergoing treatment, tweeting on November 26 that her Leukemia is \u201cgetting worse,\u201d and the doctors are increasing her medication in an attempt to help her fight back against the terrible disease. Guys please keep me in your prayers. Got some bad news today, in the most simplest terms the Leukemia is getting worse and I have to do another bone marrow biopsy to determine if they should just increase the medication I am on or start more aggressive treatments. So looks like \u2014 SkeeterMagavin (@Skeeter_Magavin) November 26, 2019 The couple accepts any donations towards helping Stefany\u2019s treatment through Alec\u2019s Streamlabs donation page, with any money received also put towards taking care of her once she is discharged from hospital, covering her trips to the Cancer Center, and food for her immuno-suppressed diet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
