Hi, my name is Kayla, and I’m creating this fundraiser for my best friend Shana and her beautiful family.
In April 2025, Shana & Ryan’s two-year-old son, Maverick, was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of kidney cancer. What started as sudden, unexplained pain quickly turned into every parent’s nightmare. Doctors discovered a tumor on his kidney that had ruptured, and on April 30th, Maverick underwent emergency surgery to remove the kidney. Because the tumor ruptured during the operation, his diagnosis was escalated to stage 3 cancer.
Since then, Maverick has shown more strength and bravery than most of us could imagine. He has completed six rounds of radiation and is now facing 39 weeks of intensive chemotherapy. His parents are doing everything in their power to stay by his side every step of the way—but the emotional toll, time away from work, hospital visits, and ongoing medical needs have placed a huge financial burden on the family.
This GoFundMe was created to help ease some of that stress so Shana, Ryan & their family can focus on what truly matters: Maverick’s healing and being present for both him and his older brother, Greyson.
If you're able to give—whether it's a donation, a share, or simply a message of support—it would mean the world to this family. Let’s come together to help Maverick fight this battle with the love and support he deserves.
Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity.
With love,
Kayla
