Hello and welcome to HC!

So sorry to hear about your first hamster, no wonder you are so stressed with Yolandi, that's a lovely name.

You say that you give her a pinch of food every day. She's not a goldfish and may well need more than a pinch. Hamsters keep a hoard by their nest and often they keep more than one hoard. I'd say that a tablespoon of hamster mix daily is a more appropriate amount for a Syrian hamster.

Could you post a photo of your set up please?

Hamster balls are not very nice and can't be much fun for the hamster but you could make a play pen if you can't hamster proof a room for free roaming.

Have you checked that the wheel and water bottle are working ok?
