The GoFundMe campaign states, "Some of you know me, some don't. I am Laurie Czudak and I have known Kate for almost my entire life. Kate Kaplan has been an RN for years and the nurse for Consolidated school for many many years. She has been through HELL and back with brain tumors. Dr. Kaplan closed his medical practice to take care of her. Please share with all students and staff that know her and want to help. PLEASE HELP HER NF School staff and students and all your friends. I have set up a checking account in my name for these funds to go directly into which both Howard and Kate have access to and know the balance at all times so they can pay their bills and buy food and other necessities."
