In April 2017, Kindy ended up in the hospital with what doctors thought was the flu. It was not until her hospital release check-up that doctors realized that she had leukemia.

Her treatment consisted of chemotherapy, radiation, and a bone marrow transplant. Kindy is no longer undergoing treatment, and just came up on her one-year anniversary of her marrow transplant.

At the time of her diagnosis, Kindy was six months pregnant. Her OB-GYN recommended that she be treated at Dana-Farber.

Kindy is an artist—she spends her time doing make-up, writing and drawing. She loves any activity that uses her creativity.

Prior to her diagnosis, Kindy was finishing up cosmetology school. She is now enrolling in classes to study entertainment business and management.

Dr. Soiffer is world-renowned in the field of bone marrow and stem cell transplant procedures.

Throughout her treatment, Kindy has been supported by her daughter, mother, step-mother, sister, aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandmothers.
