Help Alex Getz Fight Stage 4 Cancer

To be lucky enough to know Alexandra Getz is to know the most unconditional love in the whole world. In January of 2021, Alex was diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer. Because it has spread to nearby lymph nodes and other organs, her cancer is no longer curable, but it is treatable. Our girl has a long road ahead of her, but she is not alone.

Alex’s story is a spectacular one. After battling addiction as an undergraduate at Loyola University Chicago, she entered into recovery without looking back and has nearly seven years clean. Alex has since received her B.F.A. in Graphic Design and graduated from the Flatiron School where she specialized in user experience. She was on the cusp of putting her skillset and her beyond incredible eye for design to use when she received her diagnosis.

Alex has always been a solid rock for the people that are drawn to her. And that is exactly what Alex does: she draws people in with her sense of humor, unique outlook on life, and her empathy. Her family and friends cannot overstate how important she is to us. She is a cherished daughter, granddaughter, sister, niece, and cousin. Alex has spent her life making people feel important, special and understood. She is a powerful presence in the recovery community in Buffalo, and she has helped more people than she will ever know through some of the worst moments of their lives.

Alex, her loving girlfriend Kaylyn, and the rest of her family need our help right now. We are asking that you consider donating to her cause, and keep in mind that no amount is too small or too large. Please feel free to share the link to this fundraiser with anybody who you think might want to help Alex. Keep our Alex, her family and her friends in your thoughts and prayers. We thank you for your contributions.
