Maytte's Battle Against Cancer

Hi everyone! My name is Maytte and I’m a 26 year old professional dancer and educator. 10 years ago I was diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia at age 16. Up until last month I’ve been fortunate enough to manage my condition from home using TKIs (oral chemotherapy pills), however, I recently found out that my cancer had progressed rapidly into Acute Myeloid Leukemia. I’m now in the hospital undergoing chemotherapy to prepare my body for a stem cell transplant that will save my life. At this point, I’ve completed my first round of chemotherapy and will undergo additional rounds in coming months before I begin the stem cell transplant process. Although the next year will be quite a journey, I’m determined to show cancer it picked the wrong girl to mess with!

Since I won't be able to work during this time or the foreseeable future, that's where I could really use your support! Any donations to help recuperate my finances throughout this 8+ month medical leave would be greatly appreciated. Donations will not only help cover medical expenses, but also everyday bills that won't wait. Your generosity will make a huge difference in my journey towards a cancer-free life.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the love, support, and generosity! Let's team up to show cancer that it can't knock me down!
