Help Kate Bode Stay in the U.S. and Keep Her Home

Hi friends,

Our dear friend Kate Bode needs our help.

Kate is a gifted vocalist and a deeply kind soul — someone who brings light, warmth, and music wherever she goes. Over the past few years, she’s built a life in the U.S. on a talent visa, working incredibly hard to carve out a place for herself in the world of music. Those who know her — or have simply heard her sing — can tell you how special she is. Her voice touches hearts, and her presence lifts the people around her.

Music isn’t just a job for Kate — it’s a calling. She’s poured her whole self into every performance, into every opportunity, and into building real connections in the artistic community here. She’s the kind of person who always says “yes” when someone needs help — who gives generously, supports fellow artists, and never hesitates to offer a hand or a kind word.

But right now, Kate is going through one of the hardest periods of her life — and she needs support.

Following a complicated and expensive visa renewal process, Kate is now in a waiting period for official approval. Until her new visa is approved, she is legally unable to work, which has made it impossible for her to keep up with essential living expenses. To make matters worse, the first legal team she hired took a large advance and then abandoned her case — leaving her scrambling to find last-minute help. Thankfully, she found someone understanding who stepped in and got things back on track, but the financial strain has been immense.

Kate is now facing mounting debt: several months of unpaid rent, car payments, and other urgent bills. Without immediate support, she is at risk of losing her housing — which would not only be personally devastating, but could also jeopardize her immigration status, as having a stable address is essential to her case.

There is a path forward, and her situation can be resolved — but she cannot do it alone.

Kate has always supported herself with hard work, passion, and heart. She’s the kind of person who never complains, who keeps going no matter how hard things get, and who always brings light to others — even when she's going through darkness of her own.

If you’ve ever been touched by her voice, her generosity, or simply her kindness — please consider giving whatever you can. Every contribution, big or small, will help her make it through this waiting period, keep her home, and stay on the path she’s worked so hard to build.

Let’s help Kate stay — and keep sharing her gift with the world.

With gratitude,

Mike
