As an adored daughter, sister, friend, aunt, niece, DJ, and event host, Dayna has always been a shining light in all of our lives.

Her kindness, her laughter, and her unwavering love have touched everyone who knows her.

Now, our beautiful Dayna is facing a battle none of us ever imagined: she has recently been diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer and peritoneal metastatic disease.

☀️Dayna has always been the one to show up for others with an open heart, a warm smile, and a spirit that lifts everyone around her. Today, she needs us to surround her with that same love and support as she begins this incredibly difficult journey.

The road ahead will be challenging, filled with treatments, appointments, travel, and many unexpected expenses. Dayna is a warrior in every sense her strength, resilience, and determination inspire us daily but no one should have to walk this path alone.

Your generosity will help lighten the load by:
Supporting Dayna through her treatment and recovery
• Helping with everyday living costs during this overwhelming time
• Covering additional medical expenses not included in insurance
• Providing her the peace of mind to focus fully on healing—physically, emotionally, and mentally

✨ A Note on Work & Support ✨
Yes—Dayna is still DJing! Music continues to be a source of strength, joy, and connection for her, and whenever she’s behind the decks, she brings that same energy, professionalism, and heart to every event. While she’s limiting new bookings to prioritize her healing, all existing commitments will be honored with care and excellence.

No gift is too small—every single donation will make a difference in Dayna’s fight. And if you are unable to give, we ask that you please share this page so her story and light can reach even further.

From the depths of our hearts, thank you for standing with Dayna, for lifting her up, and for helping her focus on what matters most: healing and hope.

Love,
Dayna’s Friends + Family

*This Go Fund Me has been organized by Jess Mckelvey. Dayna and I have been best friends since the moment we met at a DJ conference in 2017. She is my sol-mate, and I am honored to be collaborating with her family for this fundraiser. *
