The content creator faced many struggles, including severe varying allergies. The fundraiser page stated that “Alana suffered from various allergies. She was allergic to eggs, nuts, shellfish, cats, dust mites, and many more."

They added, "throughout her life, these allergies caused her to face difficulties: being sent to the hospital during overnight camp, being unable to eat when going out for food, carrying around an EpiPen in her backpack, and having to go to the ER due to the slightest bit of egg on her plate.”

Despite these allergies, she remained a confident and strong individual who always had a smile. XSET Head of Social Media, Nate Schanker, stated that Alana was “one of the most real, down-to-earth, and kindest” people they’ve ever met “through gaming.”

I’m heartbroken. RIP to one of the most real, down to earth, and kindest person I’ve met through gaming. I’ll never forget talking ab gaming/tennis and your smile that was contagious. ❤️ @ttvalanaat
