Our dear friend Karen is in crisis and facing homelessness as soon as the end of this week. She has been on numerous housing waiting lists for months and is now out of options. Over the years, Karen's health has declined significantly, and I fear she won't survive in a homeless shelter.

Karen is one of the most loving, caring, and generous people I have ever known. She has given so much to her friendships—her time, love, and compassion. She has been 'Auntie Karen' to all of our children, always ready with a kind word or a helping hand. She has also been a huge support to her family, caring for her aging parents and being there for her extended family, nieces, and nephews. Karen has made it through so many challenges alone that would break most people. Now, she needs our help more than ever.

I am raising funds to purchase a camper for Karen and pay for a season at the campground we have been at for several years. This will give her a safe place to stay and the time she needs to continue seeking permanent housing. If you can help secure a place for her to live, it will be deeply appreciated. Your support can make all the difference for someone who has given so much to others. Let’s help Karen see she is not alone in this chapter of life.
