Foreclosed! Help Kelly During This Critical Time

Donation protected


Hello, my name is Carly and I have created this fundraiser on behalf of my friend Kelly D. whose home has just been foreclosed on April 1st, 2023. We had originally created the fundraiser to help stop the foreclosure from happening, however, our goal was not met.

We have since decided to keep the fundraiser going for the reasons stated below.

There's simply no words that could define what Kelly's friendship means to me, and I know scores of people who can say the same. The impact this woman has had on the lives of many is profound- for some, it was vital.

“ Kelly donates hours a day of her life just to help others. She helped me at one of the lowest times of my life expecting nothing in return. Without Kelly, many of us wouldn’t be here today” - Jessica C.

"Kelly has played a vital role in my emotional, physical and spiritual wellbeing. She has always been there for me anytime I have ever needed her whether it be for a listening ear, a laugh or some important suggestions. I can honestly say I don’t know where I would be without her, but I am certain I wouldn’t be where I am today and I wouldn’t have grown into the person I am today without her. " - Kailee F.

“ Kelly is a very dedicated and bright lady who has a passion and commitment to helping others and developing the skills and knowledge related to service of others. She has helped me more than words can express. She has uncommon social skills and is able to adapt to any situation and always puts others first. Kelly is kind, responsible, bright, a great teacher, flexible and shows an unparalleled commitment to assisting others in the achievement of their goals.” - Chad A.

"Kelly is a mentor that I look up to. Her unselfishness is beyond words." - Gordon C.

“Kelly has helped me in my life. More than I could think or imagine. Opening her home to me, guiding me into a new way of thinking; that's a rare comodity in these troublesome days!” - Mike J.

Now- Kelly needs OUR help! Her home has just been foreclosed, April 1st, 2023.

Kelly purchased her home 21 years ago with her now ex.

I cannot explain the true nature of her ex's actions without vulgar language, so I will sum it up in a more tasteful manner. While Kelly dealt with worsening, life-threatening medical conditions, he intentionally over medicated her to get her signature in order to take out a second mortgage on the house. He then lost his career after having sexual intercourse with subordinates in the workplace. In short order, he found illegal access to Kelly's inheritance monies, which was swiftly spent on gambling, prostitution, alcohol and drugs. He then moved out of the house without forwarning to be with a mistress. He's been MIA ever since. He left Kelly with the responsibility of handling the mortgage, her progressing medical issues, all the debt he left her with and living expenses for herself and their son.

She wanted to sell the home to avoid the impact on her credit, but he refused to cooperate, and because he is also named on the deed, she could not proceed.

Kelly will soon be left without a home while trying to continue managing her ongoing and serious health conditions. Due to said conditions, she is unable to continue in her profession for the foreseeable future.

All monies donated will be utilized for moving expenses, obtaining living accommodations, medical bills, and any other outstanding bills and vital living essentials.

If you can spare any amount, it would be helpful and deeply appreciated. If not in a position to help, please pass the link along to someone who may be.

Kellys not one to reach out and ask for help. She's usually the one offering an extended hand to those in need, so this is a new position she's finding herself in. Any help would be an enormous relief for her.

On behalf of Kelly and all of us, we want to say how much we appreciate your time and consideration regarding this fundraiser and wish to thank each of you very much.
