Flinging Into Spring With a Good Cause

Every once in a while, I come across a situation that gives me pause. I just can't look away without at least trying to help.

This is one of those situations.

Kiara's story is here. It's a terrible story that should exist only between the covers of a fictional novel, but that's not the case. It's her story. Her life. Her challenges.

She started life with the deck stacked against her. Various health challenges led her biological parents to believe they couldn't care for her. Fortunately, another couple welcomed her into their hearts and home. The challenges were great, but she thrived.

Then her father passed away.

As if that wasn't enough, time would deliver another blow. Kiara's mother and boyfriend were killed in a car accident. Kiara was in the same accident and suffered severe injuries,  but none so crushing as losing her mother.

The accident happened right before Thanksgiving. Now that Kiara's physical injuries are beginning to heal, figuring out her future has become a priority. Fortunately, her older sister is able to care for her, but to do so, she needs some help. There are medical bills to pay, accommodations that need to be made to Kiara's new home, and a long road to a better future to pave.

You can help.

There is going to be a Spring Fling on Saturday, February 22nd. Tickets and information are available over here. Or, check out the YourCaring page that was set up on her behalf.

Either way, you're helping Kiara keep going. Maybe I'll see you at the Spring Fling. ;-)
