Help Panther Dance Again — Support Her Recovery Journey

Our amazing friend Panther is one of the most vibrant, hardworking, and passionate people you’ll ever meet. She juggles two jobs, hikes, hits the gym, and pours her heart into learning new skills like pole dance, burlesque, and fire dancing. Her energy is magnetic — whether she’s performing or just living life. But recently, her body hit the brakes.

While rocking out to an Avenged Sevenfold song during karaoke (of all things!), Panther sustained a serious injury that’s left her in excruciating back pain. After 12 days of no sleep, no relief, and every kind of pain management failing, she finally found a bit of comfort with a new course of steroids. But the healing road isn’t over — she’s scheduled for surgery on April 30th and has been told full recovery may take around 3 months.

In the meantime, Panther has been doing everything she can to keep going — working part-time at her clinic's reception desk on days when her body allows. Still, with reduced income and surgery costs ahead, covering rent, recovery, and medical bills feels daunting.

This is where we come in.

If Panther has ever inspired you, made you laugh, danced beside you, or simply lifted your spirits — now’s the time to lift her up. Every donation, no matter the size, helps ease the stress so she can focus on what matters: healing, resting, and eventually getting back to doing what she loves most.

Let’s get Panther back on stage, back to work, and back to her wild, wonderful self.
Thank you for helping her rise again — stronger than ever.

With love and gratitude,

Jessica Yerden, long time friend and forever on Team Panther
