If you know Kate, you know how special she is. She is hardworking, kind, reliable, smart, funny, talented — and truly one of those people who makes every room brighter just by being in it. Whether she’s supporting her work colleagues, friends, family or simply making someone laugh on a tough day, she shows up fully and wholeheartedly for others.

Recently, she was diagnosed with breast cancer and has begun the difficult journey of treatment. As many know, chemotherapy takes an enormous physical toll. At this time, she has been unable to work due to the side effects and the strength required to focus on healing.

For someone who is so used to being independent and caring for everyone else, this season has been especially challenging.

We are starting this fundraiser to help ease the financial burden that comes with medical treatments, time away from work, and everyday expenses. Our hope is that this support allows her to focus on what matters most right now — her health, her strength, and her recovery.

If you are able to give, no amount is too small. And if you are not in a position to contribute financially, we ask that you share this page and keep her in your thoughts and prayers.

She has spent so much of her life showing up for others. Now it’s our turn to show up for her.

Thank you for your love, generosity, and support!
