Violet's Fight Against Cancer

Our dear friend Violet Kuchar has been diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer. Violet is tough and she's a natural fighter, but she can’t do this alone. That’s why I am asking you to support Violet and her family by making a financial contribution today. Your generosity will help mitigate treatment costs, medical bills, and other related expenses, while serving as an enduring reminder for Violet that people near and far are thinking of her.

I met Violet nearly a decade ago when we were working for Illinois Governor Pat Quinn, but we immediately formed a bond that has been a constant source of strength and friendship for me ever since. That’s why this news was so devastating for all of us who know Violet well.

Despite even the most sobering of diagnoses, Violet continues to fight this cancer with grit, relentlessness, and a determination that has been nothing short of inspiring. You can support her by making a donation.

Please contribute right now and encourage your friends and family to do the same by sharing this GoFundMe page widely and frequently. Your generosity will mean everything to Violet, her family, and certainly to me.

Thank you so very much for your support.
