Story
Hi everyone,
Our names are Breen Meyerle, Michelle Zumwalt, and Christina Funk, and we’re organizing this fundraiser on behalf of our incredible friend, Sydnee Yengo, a bright and beautiful 22-year-old who is bravely fighting Ewing Sarcoma, a rare and aggressive form of bone cancer.
After months of grueling treatments and countless doctor visits, Sydnee’s medical team has determined that the best—and only—path forward is a Type 3 hemipelvectomy: an intense and life-altering surgery involving the removal of part of her pelvis to stop the spread of cancer.
This surgery is not only physically and emotionally demanding—it comes with a massive financial burden.
Sydnee will face:
A long hospital stay and possible ICU care
Extensive physical therapy and rehabilitation
Specialized medical equipment and mobility aids
Home modifications to make daily life accessible
Lost income and overwhelming out-of-pocket medical costs
Despite everything, Sydnee continues to fight with remarkable courage and resilience. She is one of the most compassionate, determined, and inspiring people we know—and now, she needs us.
We are asking for your help to raise $25,000 to support Sydnee through her surgery, recovery, and beyond. Every donation—no matter the amount—will go directly toward medical expenses, recovery resources, and helping her regain quality of life.
If you can’t give financially, please consider sharing this page to help us reach more people who can.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your support, kindness, and prayers. Let’s rally around Sydnee and show her she’s not in this fight alone.
With love and gratitude,
Breen, Michelle, Christina & Team Sydnee
