Save the Mermaid's Seashells - Help Support Danielle!

If you’ve ever crossed paths with Danielle, you’ve felt her magic. A professional mermaid, dancer, and single mama, Danielle lives a life full of grace, glitter, and saltwater joy. She's an ocean conservationist, a sea-loving soul, and a fierce protector — of both her child and the planet. She’s nurtured her daughter into a young woman, a powerful force in the world — someone already swimming in her mother’s brave, bold footsteps.

Right now, the tide has shifted. Danielle has been diagnosed with an aggressive stage 3 triple negative breast cancer and will begin chemotherapy in June. She’ll be receiving her port, out of work for 4–6 months, getting chemo and then getting a lumpectomy and then radiation, and as an independent artist and caregiver, she’s facing serious financial challenges. Rent, groceries, and basic living expenses don’t pause — even when life throws its biggest waves.

While Danielle would never let cancer define her, the reality is: her seashells need saving. ✨ She’s tackling this fight with the same strength and sparkle she brings to everything — but no mermaid should have to face a storm alone. Even mermaids swim in pods and this one needs her pod, no matter on land or by sea!

This GoFundMe is here to help her stay afloat — to keep her safe, secure, and supported during treatment. Every donation, share, and message of love helps anchor her through this time.

Let’s lift up this beautiful soul who’s spent her life uplifting others. Thank you for being part of her pod.
