Candy has spent years traveling the world, performing stand-up comedy night after night and bringing laughter to audiences everywhere. Comedy isn’t just her passion — it’s her livelihood. While she’s in the towns where she performs, Candy loves playing pickleball, meeting new people, and brightening every room she enters. But now, she’s facing her hardest battle yet. Diagnosed with basaloid squamous cell carcinoma, an aggressive form of tongue cancer, Candy has lost her ability to perform and speak. She’s had to cancel all of her shows for at least a year, leaving her with no income and mounting expenses — both known and unknown — that come with treatment and recovery. We’re asking for $70,000 to help Candy cover these costs so she can focus entirely on healing and one day return to making people laugh again.
