Donate to help Karen get the surgery she needs to succeed

Help Karen access crucial oral health care

Karen is a senior at G.W. Carver High School in New Orleans. Karen is an honor roll student, lead drummer in Carver's historic band, student athlete, and class officer. She is an incredibly hard worker and her determination makes her a natural leader. She is known for her kindness and empathy, her sense of humor, and her generous spirit.

Karen exudes peace and compassion in everything she does. She is committed to her growth journey and finds joy in sharing what she has learned with others: she is an advocate for her family, friends, and community. She plans to study psychology at Smith College (with a full scholarship!) in the fall so that she can help other people through the difficulties of life with the grace and love that she so fully embodies.

Karen has four impacted wisdom teeth, and one that is prone to infection which is a very serious condition. She receives dental care through LSU health in New Orleans and they recommend her surgery happen as soon as possible and scheduled it for the end of April. Please help Karen cover the costs of this important procedure. Your donation will make a huge difference as she enters this next, exciting chapter of her life.
