The site Twitch needs the streamer to be a minimum of thirteen years of age. However it is unclear how old zyiTV is. Irrespective of the troubles he is going through he began making rounds over the internet as one of his streams went viral of Reddit. During one of the sessions the boy turned on the chat to talk about the state of plight his family is in.

His dad was at first diagnosed with stage 3 cancer in September 2018 but it reached his lungs and liver pushing him into level 4 diagnosis. He wrote “His cancer spread to his lungs and liver which brought him to stage 4 cancer. He is currently undergoing chemotherapy. These are the circumstances that the doctors gave him: No chemo one-year death three years chemo 20% live. Please donate anything you possibly can. All money will go towards funding his medication. Much love from me and all of my family members.”

OMG EVERYONE! I can't even thank anyone from this stream with words. I'm truly speechless. You guys changed my and my dad's life forever and me and my dad will remember this my whole life. Thanks to 1/2
