Hi everyone - I’m Mat Kahansky, a close friend of Alex and Kate Plumb, and I’m organizing this fundraiser with Alex’s blessing.

Kate is currently in the hospital and recovering. Some of you may recognize the situation from this CBC article. That was Kate.

For privacy reasons, public details will be limited. This fundraiser is simply a practical way for people to support Alex and Kate while Kate is in hospital and they focus on her recovery.

All funds will go directly to Alex and Kate.

One important ask: please give Alex and Kate privacy and space right now. Unannounced visits or outreach can be overwhelming. If you’d like to support them, donating here (and sharing the link thoughtfully) is the best way.

Thank you for caring about them. Any amount helps.

Quick note on comments: to keep things respectful and protect privacy, please don’t speculate about what happened, don’t ask for medical updates, and don’t share details that aren’t already public. Supportive messages are appreciated, and the best help right now is donating or sharing thoughtfully. Thank you.
