Help for Kara, Isaiah and Kyra
Donation protected
Hi everyone I would like to ask for help for my beautiful, strong, truly amazing sister and her two youngest children. Due to a chain of unforeseen, unfortunate circumstances they have found themselves in a dire situation and are living in a homeless shelter. Kara is a hard working single mother who puts her children first and is raising them with incredible morals and values.
The difficulty began with a lack of child support payments from her ex-husband but she was getting by. She had a good job that she worked hard for as a CNA at Brockton Hospital but it sadly burned down last year. Her employment type did not allow her to collect unemployment but she has been continuously searching for full time employment since. She had a car but it was unfortunately totaled in an accident that was not her fault. She could not afford a new one so a family member let her borrow one for a while. The car has since been taken back so she is now without a car.
Then the lack of child support payments caught up and she was forced to move out of her apartment and move in with a friend in New Hampshire. In a recent court hearing over child support payments the judge ordered her to stay in Massachusetts - making her situation even more difficult. Not being able to afford an apartment or a car at this time and without a job, she has landed in a homeless shelter. the shelter is going to help find housing but it will take a while. We are asking for help to get her and the children out of this situation as quickly as possible. Bad things happening to good people is an understatement in this situation. Kara is a role model to me and even through the tough times she has a positive, uplifting outlook on life. We have a goal of $10,000 to help her purchase a reliable car and afford a safe apartment for her and the children. Any thing helps but more importantly please share and spread the word.
