Help Kim: Unexpected Storm Expenses

Donation protected
In the heart of Sanford, Maine, there resides a beacon of compassion named Kim. Every day, she dedicates herself to making a difference in the lives of others as she works tirelessly at Waban, a residence program for individuals with cognitive and physical disabilities. Despite the modest income, Kim's true wealth lies in her boundless generosity and unwavering passion for helping those in need and being a true friend to others.

Kim found herself in a precarious situation after the last snowstorm. Living in a rental property, she was unable to keep up with the maintenance of the trees surrounding her home. Unfortunately, yet unsurprisingly, a tree limb has fallen onto Kim’s car causing a substantial amount of damage. Kim and her two fur babies are safe!

Thankfully, Kim has insurance to cover the cost of repairs. However, she still faces the burden of the insurance deductible and the expenses of renting a replacement vehicle while her car undergoes repairs. Additionally, the snowstorm wreaked havoc on the power lines, leaving Kim’s friends worried about the perishable food in her home if the power outage persisted.

When asking Kim’s permission to start a GoFundMe on her behalf, Kim’s response was, “There are other people who are in greater need than me.” As this may be true, this is where we come in to help her. I think it is time to show Kim that despite her stubbornness to ask or accept help, there are other people who would gain joy and happiness by helping her in her time of need. Especially someone who is a caretaker in the community.

I hope you join me in rallying around Kim. With a goal to raise $800, we can help alleviate the burden of the unexpected expenses she faces. Your contribution, no matter how small, will make a world of difference to Kim.

Let's show Kim the same love and support she has shown to countless others. Together, we can make sure that Kim not only overcomes this hurdle but emerges stronger, knowing that her community stands by her side.

Join us in spreading love and kindness to someone who embodies these qualities every single day. Your donation is not just a financial contribution; it's a symbol of our collective appreciation for Kim's compassionate spirit and unwavering dedication to making the world a better place.

Thank you for being a part of Kim's journey and for helping us shine a light of hope in her life.
