Help Support Yukie Through Her Fight With Stage 4 Cancer ✨

Our dear friend Yukie, at just 35 years old, has recently been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. As she begins an intense journey of chemotherapy every two weeks, we want to wrap her in the love, support, and comfort she truly deserves.

Anyone who knows Yukie knows her heart belongs to Disneyland—a place where she finds joy, hope, and a little bit of magic even in the hardest times. To help ease the emotional and physical toll of treatment, we’re creating a “Chemo Prize Board” just for her. After each chemo round, she’ll get a small Disney pin, treat, or surprise—something to look forward to and help brighten those incredibly tough days.

But we want to go one step further.

Our dream is to send Yukie on a short, healing getaway to the Grand Californian Hotel at Disneyland—a “make-a-wish” moment just for her. A few peaceful days surrounded by the magic she loves would mean more than words can express.

In addition, funds will also help provide extra support at home. Many of you know that Yukie is the primary caregiver for her mother, who suffered a stroke a few years ago. As Yukie undergoes treatment, having additional caregiving help will be essential for both her and her mom’s well-being.

How You Can Help

Your donation—no matter the size—will go directly toward:

Her “chemo prize board” treats and morale boosters

A short Disneyland stay to bring joy and rest during treatment

In-home support for Yukie and her mother during this difficult time

Why It Matters

Yukie has always been someone who gives endlessly, quietly, and wholeheartedly. Now is our chance to give back and lift her up as she faces the biggest challenge of her life.

If you can donate, share, or simply send love and encouragement, it will make a tremendous difference. Thank you for being part of Team Yukie and helping bring light, magic, and comfort into her world right now. ✨

With Gratitude,

Kate Sumser and Elizabeth Oku
