<div><strong>Help Kevin Dorman on Their Journey to Recovery</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Dear Friends, Colleagues, and Community,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are reaching out to ask for your support for our beloved friend and colleague, <strong>Kevin Dorman</strong>, who has recently been diagnosed with tongue cancer. On December 23rd, 2024,<strong> Kevin will undergo surgery that will significantly impact their life and career as a voice-specialized speech-language pathologist</strong>, <strong>helping transgender and gender-expansive individuals find their authentic voices.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Kevin is a kind, selfless, and giving person who has touched countless lives.</strong> They are also a devoted partner to their husband, <strong>Kelton</strong>, and a loving caregiver to their quirky parrot, <strong>JellyBean</strong>. Now, Kevin needs our help to navigate the challenges ahead.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Kevin Dorman (they/them) is a 33 year old non-binary speech-language pathologist and nurturing practitioner of gender-affirming voice work. Over their eight years of practice, Kevin has directly served hundreds of trans, non-binary, and gender-nonconforming people in the exploration and reclamation of their voices; they have also indirectly served thousands more through the co-creation and facilitation of continuing education opportunities for voice specialists providing gender-affirming voice work.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On Wednesday, November 6th, Kevin was diagnosed with tongue cancer. The treatment for this presentation will be aggressive and will incapacitate Kevin for an indeterminate period of time, including weeklong stay in the hospital (at minimum) and a great deal of therapy afterward. They will be unable to serve their community, cutting off their family's primary source of income and Kevin's primary source of joy, until they complete their rehabilitation.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>By supporting them through this GoFundMe, you will ease the financial pressure on Kevin and their family so they can focus on recovery and navigating the weeks ahead.

<div><em>Why This Matters</em>

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every donation, no matter the size, makes a difference. If you’re unable to give financially, sharing this fundraiser is a powerful way to help Kevin and their family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and love. Let’s help Kevin get back to doing what they do best—changing lives, one voice at a time. - Ruchi Kapila and Marie Jetté &lt;3
