Support Kristi Waters Fight Against Cancer

*Update* As many of you know, our dear friend Kristi has been fighting cancer with incredible strength and courage. She just finished her difficult journey with chemo and radiation.

Kristi is now recovering, but still in pain and using a wheelchair to get around. She'll be out of work for the foreseeable future until her body heals.

We want to help her focus on recovery without the added stress of financial worries. Every donation, no matter how small, will help with things like groceries, living expenses, and medical bills until she is back on her feet.

Huge thank you to everyone who donated, it means the world to her.*

Hey friends and family,

This is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to share, but I want to be honest with my community who’s shown me nothing but love and support over the years.

I’ve recently been diagnosed with Stage 3 cancer, and because of that, I’ll be stepping away from performing for some time to focus on treatment and my recovery. This isn’t goodbye forever — it’s just a temporary pause. I’m determined to fight with everything I’ve got and come back stronger, healthier, and more grateful than ever to do what I love.

Until I begin chemo and radiation, I will continue working and performing, and will plan my last show before treatment begins — a night to celebrate, cry a little, laugh a lot, and feel your love. I hope to see as many of you there as possible — your presence would mean everything to me.

I recognize this new journey will come with its own set of challenges - emotional, physical and financial. If you’d like to support me in any way, it would be deeply appreciated. Every little bit helps as I navigate medical expenses and time away from work. I’m also open to doing remote or work-from-home gigs — I want to stay active and keep contributing however I can.

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for the encouragement, the prayers, and the kindness. Please keep me in your thoughts — while I have a battle ahead of me, I also have so much to fight for!
