In April 2022, Dayna Mueller was diagnosed with Stage 2 Invasive Squamous Carcinoma (a rare form of vaginal cancer). She is undergoing a radical hysterectomy where they will remove all tissues, organs, and lymph nodes. Due to the aggressive nature of the cancer, Dayna will most likely have to undergo extensive chemotherapy and radiation and will be unable to work for several months, if not longer.
Dayna is a mom of three beautiful children (Prescott, age 10, Louis, age 10, and Marisol, age 2) and an amazing hairstylist. Like many stylists, during COVID her business was hit hard and Dayna was finally back on track when she was diagnosed with cancer.
Dayna is also the primary breadwinner in their family. Her husband Chris, is a musician and stay-at-home dad who is partially disabled and unable to work due to a neurological condition that has left him partially blind.
Our goal is to raise $10,000 to support Dayna and their family during this stressful time. Money raised will go to pay additional medical bills not covered by insurance, childcare, food, gas, groceries, rent, and other necessities her family needs to survive and allow Dayna some much-needed time to rest and recover before going back to work.
Before Dayna went into surgery she said, "I'm a warrior and a fighter and I will get through this. My babies need me and I plan to be around for them."
She also wanted to remind women to make sure they get their annual exam and not to ignore signs and symptoms - go get checked if you think something isn't right. Please don't wait until it's too late.
Dayna and her family are so very grateful and thankful for the generous support. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.
