Maia West, began her fight against Ewing Sarcoma Cancer in her 6th rib on 5/10/24 at 15-years-old. Ewing Sarcoma is a rare and aggressive cancer of the bone, especially affecting children and teenagers. Maia’s treatment required urgent relocation to Cleveland Clinic to receive specialized care under specialist Dr. Anderson.
UVSC has provided the financial assistance to ensure a smooth transition, and allowed Maia and her family (mom, dad, 13 year old brother and dog) to be by her side without the additional financial worries. Maia is an amazing and athletic teenager, with dreams of becoming an elementary school teacher and continuing her passion for surfing competitively.
“We are so grateful for all the love and support that we received from UVSC during this difficult time. Thank you UVSC for fighting with us.”
– Kim, Maiaʻs mother
