Minecraft Realms not Working

I'm on the first generation Nintendo switch, and whenever I sign into my account, it removes the realm option and refuses to connect to them. I just spent a bunch of money in the game, and I'm absolutely devastated. Nothing online works. I've signed out. Deleted save data. Deleted cloud data. Reinstalled. Tried another Nintendo account. Restarted my switch. Nothing. Works. And the fact that I can't seem to get direct contact is so unbelievably frustrating, because this seems to be on Microsoft's side. There's nothing I can do. I cannot afford a new console, that is out of the question. I've been hospitalized too many times recently and can barely even walk. I feel helpless.

    Hello X3c YAH

    Thank you for reaching out and informed us about the situation. Based on your description, the issue seems to be within the Minecraft version on your device. Unfortunately, as community moderators, we do not have access to Minecraft accounts, Realm subscriptions, server settings, or backend systems. Because of this, we are unable to verify whether Realm options are available on your account or investigate Realm-specific issues directly.

    For assistance with your Realm settings or subscription, I recommend contacting the Minecraft Support team, as they have the appropriate tools and access to review your account details and provide further troubleshooting.

    My apologize for not being able to provide direct assistance in this case and appreciate your understanding.
