<div><strong>Urgent Support for Maya’s Cancer Surgery &amp; Recovery</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our beloved community member <strong>Maya</strong> needs our support right now.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>On February 22, 2026,</strong> Maya was diagnosed with <strong>uterine cancer.</strong> After urgent testing, doctors confirmed that the cancer is growing at a medium aggressive rate and requires <strong>immediate surgery</strong>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Maya is scheduled to undergo a <strong>full hysterectomy on March 12, 2026</strong>, which will include removal of the uterus, cervix, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and several lymph nodes to determine whether the cancer has spread.<strong> We will not know the full stage of Maya’s cancer until after surgery, when pathology results are reviewed in early April.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Like many disabled people in our communities, Maya is facing this serious medical moment with courage, but also with <strong>very limited</strong> financial resources.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Maya’s Health and Disability</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Maya lives with multiple disabilities and complex medical conditions. They were born with a rare congenital heart condition called a r<strong>ight-sided aortic arch with a vascular ring</strong>. This condition affects Maya’s breathing, swallowing, and physical movement, and makes surgery higher risk than it would be for many people.
</div>
<div>Because of this, Maya’s recovery will require <strong>significant rest, care, support, and a stable healing environment.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What Maya Needs Support With</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Maya is a low-income, multiply disabled community organizer and artist who lives on a housing voucher and Medi-Cal. Maya will need to stop working completely during surgery and recovery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This means Maya will need help covering basic living expenses during this time, including:
</div>
<ul>
<li>Food and groceries
</li>
<li>Gas and transportation
</li>
<li>Car insurance
</li>
<li>Phone and internet bills
</li>
<li>Basic household costs during recovery
</li>
<li>Medical needs that Medi-Cal does not cover
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>About Maya</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Maya is a <strong>60-year-old nonbinary queer disability justice organizer, oral historian, writer, public health educator, and artivist </strong>living in the San Francisco Bay Area.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For decades, Maya has shown up for countless people in their communities,documenting histories, building movements, supporting survivors, and advocating for disability justice and collective care.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now it is our turn to show up for Maya.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How You Can Help</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you are able, please donate to support Maya through surgery and recovery. Every contribution, large or small, helps create stability and care during this critical time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If donating isn’t possible, <strong>sharing this fundraiser</strong> widely with your networks is also deeply appreciated.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Maya also has a <a href="https://Mealtrain.com/trains/6y8znq" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">meal train</a> .
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Let’s surround Maya with the same care, solidarity, and love that they have offered so many others.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Thank you for being part of Maya’s care circle.</strong>
</div>
