Help Kerem Kick Cancer's Ass!
Hi, my name is Karen West and Kerem Ozen is my dear friend. If you've spent any time with him at all, you've either become his friend or have wanted to be his friend. :) His wife Kara describes him as, "..the most selfless man I have ever known. He would give the shirt off his back for anyone who needs it. He's the most loyal, dedicated, loving, husband and father who would do anything for his family." He and Kara recently received the heart stopping news that Kerem has a cancerous tumor the size of a small orange, on his kidney, The prognosis calls for him to have his kidney removed. As many of you know, both Kerem and Kara are hardworking independent contractors with an unbridled work ethic. However, with mounting medical bills and a loss of work for several weeks, that will certainly be adding to the stress of the situation. Stress that is not a good prescription for healing. Kerem and Kara have been feeding the homeless for 20 years through multiple food drives. For a decade, they have been organizing and donating backpacks and school supplies for local elementary school children in need. They are sponsors for The Buddy Walk (Down Syndrome Association), Wigs4Kids and various other charitable organizations for animals and missing and exploited children. They have given so much to others, I would love to be able to give back to them in order to relieve some of the stress of the mounting medical bills. I would love for Kerem to be able to focus his energy on healing so he can get back to doing what he loves... providing for his family, helping others in need and putting smiles on his clients' faces. Anything you can donate would be received with the deepest gratitude.
