Our Analise needs her Waxi Taxi family
If you’ve been to our Chesterton studio, there’s a good chance you know Analise. She started with us as a high school intern in 2022, became one of our waxing specialists in 2024, and has been part of our family ever since.
Late this summer, Analise was diagnosed with a pineal tumor… for the second time. Her first was nearly six years ago, shortly after she lost her mother, Amy, to breast cancer.
She’ll be staying at an extended-stay hotel near her treatment center and covering most of that cost herself, along with daily meals, supplements, special clothing, body care, future hair care and medical bills. She’s been off work since mid-August.
Analise isn’t one to ask for help, so we’re asking for her.
October 12
Proton radiation begins in Naperville, Illinois
5 days a week
For six weeks of treatment, away from home
After Thanksgiving
When she hopes to be back with her clients
The best way to help: give to her GoFundMe
Donations will first cover her hotel and meals during six weeks of treatment, then help with everyday bills like rent, insurance and utilities while she can’t work. No amount is too small, and every share helps the fundraiser reach more people.
