A Hand Up For Carla, Please

Hey there, My name is Peggy and I have known Carla for many years, and she could really use

some help getting back on her feet. After months of illness and loss of

income, it has left her hopeless and on the verge of homelessness.

The photo above is one of Carla and my mom, Loretta some years ago.

My mom saved Carla’s life, first with her

music and then with her friendship. Carla in returned has devoted so

much of herself in the last few months to perpetuate and preserve

Loretta Lynn's legacy by starting a petition to have a state park in

Eastern Kentucky renamed in honor of their Hometown girl. Carla

embarked on this endeavor because she knew my mom was always so

proud of her coal miner’s daughter roots and her home state of

Kentucky. Carla has written countless emails and letters to have Loretta's

image considered for the American Quarters program. Just to name a few

of the endeavors over the years Carla herself has done to further cement

Loretta's legacy.

If you can find it in your heart to lend a helping hand to help Carla get

back on her feet.

Here is a bit of Carla's Story:

Carla came to Loretta Lynn’s Ranch in Tennessee when she was just 19

years old. Her dream was to meet Loretta and live and work in

Tennessee for a summer while off from Collage. While Carla was working

planting flowers at Loretta's home she met my dad, Mooney who was

coming in from the day of working on the farm. They struck up a

conversation and my dad was so taken with Carla's story he took her to

meet his wife. Carla spent the rest of that summer working along side

Loretta planting flowers and helping Loretta tend her vegetable garden.

Carla became a fixture at the ranch and soon the whole Lynn family

we’re introduced and acquainted with Carla.

Carla went on to finish up her degree and started her own business as a

investigator in which she has worked for several years. She now lives in

Florida with her puppy Oscar. During the last several months Carla

became seriously ill and she lost her ability to work which put her behind

and unable to catchup. She has no medical insurance and is suffering

with a severe respiratory ailment. She now is facing eviction from her

apartment which would leave her homeless and destitute.

Carla is a great fisherman; She is one of the funniest people I know.

She is a loyal friend, the kind of a ride or die kind of person. She was a

good friend to my mom and dad and they adored her. Can you please

spare $10, $20.. whatever you can to help get Carla back on her feet

and healthy again. Thank you, Peggy Lynn
