Maki Ryoke is not only a brilliant makeup artist, she is a devoted mother, a loyal friend, and someone who has quietly supported so many of us for years.

Next month, Maki will undergo surgery as part of her cancer treatment. While she is facing this with strength and determination, the medical costs, recovery time, and time away from work create a significant financial burden.

As a freelance artist and working mother, taking time off means lost income; on top of hospital bills, treatment expenses, and post-surgery care.

We are coming together to support her during this critical moment.

Funds raised will go directly toward:

    •    Surgery and hospital expenses

    •    Ongoing cancer treatment

    •    Recovery and aftercare

    •    Living expenses during time away from work

Any contribution — large or small — makes a difference. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this page.

Let’s help Maki focus on healing, not financial stress.

With love and solidarity,

Maki's Friends & Family
