We are dear friends of the Sluzewski family, reaching out to ask for your support during an unimaginably difficult time. Their beloved 12-year-old daughter, Charlotte, is bravely fighting metastatic melanoma—a rare and aggressive cancer that developed from a mature teratoma removed earlier this year.

Charlotte’s diagnosis has turned the family’s world upside down. She now faces surgery, 4-week post recovery, a clinical trial in NY, intensive treatments, frequent hospital visits, and the emotional and financial strain that comes with battling a life-threatening illness. The costs for her care—including the initial rounds of immunotherapy, a clinical trial in NY costing $515,000 alone, travel, and ongoing support—are overwhelming.

Your generosity will help ease the burden on the Sluzewski family so they can focus on what matters most: supporting Charlotte and making precious memories together. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a real difference. If you’re unable to give, please consider sharing this page with your network to help us reach more hearts.

Thank you for your kindness, prayers, and support for Charlotte and her family during this fight.

With gratitude,

Friends of the Sluzewski Family
