 Hello, I’m Hazel. I’m a 30 year old trans/nonbinary artist living in Brooklyn who is currently in chemotherapy treatment for cancer. This page is where I can share a bit of my cancer journey if you are interested to know more. :)

 <strong>MY STORY:</strong>
</div>
<div>
 I am currently in treatment for metastatic testicular cancer. I was first diagnosed with cancer in 2023, and underwent surgery right away to remove it. Thankfully the procedure was a success, but 3 years later the cancer has metastasized. I found out in August I have a mass near my kidney and several smaller clusters in my lungs. So, I’m doing chemotherapy. As I write this, I’ve already completed the first chemo cycle. I’m scheduled to finish in early December.

 Unfortunately, a week before I received my diagnosis, I quit my full time job in order to start grad school. I’m pursuing a masters in clinical social work! Though I was beyond excited to begin my program, the need to start chemotherapy right away meant deferring attendance until Fall 2027. This news also came just a few days before the semester started and was perhaps the most devastating part. Because of all this, I won’t be able to work for a few months during treatment. I’ve accepted I need support, and here we are. All donations will be going directly to cost of living, namely groceries and utilities.

 If you are interested in other ways I’m raising funds to pay for treatment, you can visit my Instagram art page @fairy__fountain. There I will also be sharing updates. :)

 Thank you from the bottom of my heart if you are able to donate. But know that ALL the support I’ve received, in any form of kindness or care, is equally appreciated. I am very humbled, and so grateful for the friends and loved ones who’ve shown up for me during this challenging time. I’m the luckiest person there is!!

Support Hazel’s Journey Through Chemotherapy

If you’ve ever walked into Tagliente Studio, you already know Ali's smile lights up the room. To us, she isn't just an incredibly talented barista and passionate nail tech in training—she is our brilliant babysitter, our rock, and a deeply cherished part of our family. She always shows up for everyone else, but right now, she needs us to show up for her. 
<br>
<br>
 What started as a scary hospital visit for a severe kidney infection took an unexpected turn when scans revealed three gallstones, with one painfully stuck. Because of hospital delays, her surgery kept getting pushed back, turning a quick procedure into an exhausting one-week hospital stay to have her gallbladder removed. 
<br>
<br>
 Ali is finally home, but because her body went through so much trauma between the infection and surgery, she has a long road of recovery ahead. She cannot work for the foreseeable future, and as a barista and nail tech, her livelihood entirely depends on being on her feet and using her hands. We want her to focus 100% on healing, not stressing over how to cover rent, utilities, groceries, daily expenses, Medicaid, and medical bills. 
<br>
<br>
 Ali spends her life taking care of our community, making people feel beautiful, and loving on our kids. Every single dollar goes directly to her to keep her afloat while she rests. If you can’t donate, please consider sharing this page! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, The Tagliente Studio Family
