"No matter where you go, no matter what you do, whatever room you walk in, make sure you're nice, you say hello. You are polite and you make people feel special, no matter who they are.

When Arianny Celeste called Suzy Friton her "moon mama" and raised a GoFundMe platform for the UFC makeup artist

In a heartfelt gesture, Arianny Celeste initiated a GoFundMe campaign for her dear friend and UFC makeup artist Suzy Friton.

Celeste took to Facebook to write an emotional note for Friton while also expressing the urgent need for assistance. She wrote:

"Anyone who knows her knows what a sweet soul she is. She is my moon mama, my second mom, my work mom .. one of my very best friends and she needs our help. Any donation or even sharing to spread the word really helps. This woman has always gone above and beyond for everyone around her, especially in the UFC from the ring girls to the fighters, to announcers, to fighters wives etc! I hope that we can do the same for her. Again even spreading the word helps. We love you, Suzy."

Unfortunately, in March 2021, she was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer, and her condition worsened as the disease metastasized to her liver, lungs, and spine. After overcoming two battles with stage two breast cancer before that, Friton breathed her last in September 2021.
