<div>Starting over in LA, I was ecstatic to be in a new place with a fresh start...
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But on night one, I became increasingly frustrated at my upstairs neighbor.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I couldn't understand how one person could possibly make that much noise. Some days, it genuinely sounded like someone was bowling!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And then one day, I saw her.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>An incredibly frail, almost-87-year-old woman shakily making her way down the stairs, struggling just to take out her recycling.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Her name is Carole.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And suddenly, every noise I'd been complaining about sounded completely different.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I took it upon myself to learn my neighbor's story. Carole lives alone and has Parkinson's Disease; come to find out, the sounds I had initially interpreted as an inconsiderate neighbor was an elderly woman simply trying to navigate her home &amp; her life independently.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Talk about being humbled!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>So instead of complaining about the noise, I started listening.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I started taking out Carole's trash twice a week. Once a week, I cook for her and we spend some time together. And somewhere between trash bags, meals, &amp; conversations, the 85-year-old woman upstairs stopped being "my loud neighbor."
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She became Carole.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And then something happened that neither of us could have anticipated.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I shared our story online.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In a matter of days, millions of people watched it... and thousands of complete strangers began asking me the exact same question:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>"How can we help Carole?"
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>At first, I didn't have an answer.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now I do.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is where my story ends and Carole's begins.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Because the more I've gotten to know the woman living above me, the more I've learned about the life she's lived, what she's survived, &amp; what life looks like for her today.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Carole currently survives on Social Security &amp; SNAP benefits while also receiving Medicaid coverage. And despite the assistance available to her, there are very real needs in her home &amp; daily life that simply aren't being met.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>When I shared that reality, thousands of you didn't just leave kind comments.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>You asked if you could buy make her meals.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>You asked if you could clean her apartment.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>You offered groceries, consultations, weekly visits, special self-care treatments, financial assistance... &amp; more kindness than either of us knew what to do with.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>So after taking time to figure out how to do this responsibly, this fundraiser is our answer.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Maybe the woman upstairs didn't need me to complain less… maybe she just needed someone downstairs to look up.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
