Kaely's Kindness Foundation

Kaely’s Kindness Foundation was created in honor of Kaely Kwitek, who was diagnosed with Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (ALCL), a rare form of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma that affects the body’s T-cells—essential immune cells that help fight infection.

​

At just 16 years old, Kaely was a vibrant high school junior and varsity cheerleader in Western New York when her world was turned upside down. As she navigated her cancer journey, Kaely quickly realized that there were very few resources designed specifically for teenagers like her, young women facing cancer during one of the most pivotal times in their lives. Kaely’s Kindness was born out of that need.

This foundation exists to support, empower, and uplift teenage girls living with cancer — just like Kaely.
