Support Joyce Lee's Medical Journey

"Joyce Lee is a gifted singer-songwriter, a passionate advocate, and a truly inspiring person. Through her incredible voice, original music, and dedication to mental health awareness, she’s created a strong and supportive online community. Over the years, she’s also raised more than $50,000 for mental health non-profits through charity fundraisers.

Joyce has spent so much time lifting others up—but now, she needs our help.

For years, Joyce has been silently battling undiagnosed medical issues. She’s finally starting to get some answers, but this journey has taken a huge toll on her life.

Right now, she’s struggling to cover her medical bills and make ends meet. Her health challenges have made it difficult for her to work consistently, leaving her without the stability she needs.

Joyce’s music, voice, and advocacy have touched so many lives, especially in the Twitch community. Now it’s our turn to come together and support someone who has given us so much hope and joy.

That’s why I’ve started this GoFundMe for Joyce. Like her, I understand how hard it is to face financial uncertainty when you’re dealing with serious health issues.

Let’s show Joyce how much she means to us by helping her through this challenging time. Every donation will go directly to her medical expenses, giving her the chance to focus on healing and, hopefully, return to making the music we all love.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity. Together, we can make a difference for Joyce."

Dear Friends,

I’ve sat down to write this letter many times, but each time, I struggle to find the right words. Asking for help is something I’ve always found difficult. I’ve spent so much time helping others, but now, after years of personal struggle, I’ve reached a point where I truly need help. I hope you’ll read this with kindness and understanding.

I’ve been living with chronic illness for a long time, but everything changed after an unexpected major surgery over three years ago. The surgery took a huge toll on my body. Instead of the 1-2 month recovery I was told to expect, I started facing one health issue after another. For months, I was in and out of the ER, dealing with severe physical symptoms and even a life-threatening condition. I saw several specialists, but no matter what treatments I tried, I continued to spiral and was not getting better. Some doctors even told me that my symptoms were "all in my head," even though they were very real and visible.

I pushed myself to keep up with my life and work, but everything started to suffer. For months, I could barely manage to work two days a week, and my savings quickly ran out. I tried to raise funds, but every time I did, something unexpected came up—like an emergency surgery for my cat or a car accident— and it would drain the money I’d raised. And every time I push myself to work, it costs my health. It often felt like taking two steps forward only to fall three steps back.

Part of my hesitation in asking for help comes from the nature of chronic illness—it can be invisible, and it’s unpredictable. One day, I may seem fine, but the next, I can be completely drained, dealing with pain or other issues. Imagine living with that kind of uncertainty, where you can never quite know how you’ll feel daily. It makes even the simplest tasks feel overwhelming, and working consistently or having a social life can feel impossible.

Chronic illness has affected every part of my life, and there have been times when I truly didn’t know how I could keep going. It doesn’t feel like living. It barely even feels like existing.

After years of searching for answers, I’m finally starting to get the help I need. I’ve found a doctor who listens and is helping me, but I still need support.

The treatments I require aren’t covered by insurance, and I need at least six more months of treatment to start healing finally. This is where I’m hoping you might come in. If you’re able, I’m asking for your help. Whether through donating, sharing this message, or both, any support would mean the world to me.

I dream that once I’m well again, I can share my journey through music and content, hoping it can inspire others who are going through similar struggles. But first, I need to get through this.

Thank you for reading. Your support, no matter how big or small, will make all the difference.

With gratitude,

Joyce
