"If I can say anything about Kate Kennedy, it's that she is one of the most generous people I know. Her heart is as big as the sky and everyone she helps seems to shine brighter because of it.  Without Kate, I wouldn't be able to pursue filmmaking or acting. Without Kate, I wouldn't be the person  or artist I am today. Kate Kennedy has given me the world and I owe her so much. My hope is that she stays wonderful!" - Ben Romero
