Kendra

Kendra is the name of the teen age girl we have taken an interest in.
Kendra does not have a cell phone or a car. Kendra has very few clothes.
I do not know a lot about her, but I do know that both of her parents have died and she is an orphan.
She is a senior in high school and lives with her two brothers.
She works at the restaurant we go to every night, and you have never seen such a hard worker.
She does not live with her brothers for free, she has responsibities. She has to pay the electric bill and she is upset because this month the bill is $150.
Kendra needs glasses. The owner of the restaurant talked to one of the clubs in town and they are going to pay for her glasses.
I gave Kendra money at christmas time and again on valentine's day. She practically jumped for joy!!
I think if each of us would help just one person, life would be so much happier.
I plan to keep helping Kendra. She wants to go to college. I don't know how she will do it (no money and no car) but I will be glad to help her.

    ...sometimes, just having someone that believes you can do somehting, and cares enough to show, is enough to make YOU believe...so, you can do that for her, and, also help her know that she has options, and maybe even help her research what those options are! ((hugs)) You are right about helping out, that is the power of one...that if we can all make a difference in just one life, we are also touching so many others!

    kudos Ima! Good for you. miclason is right having one person believe in you makes all the difference. If she has access to the computer there are many good scholarship search websites available. Kendra is a lucky young lady to have you!

    I'm very glad that you are there, helping her Ima. Good people who wants to work towards a better life, but are otherwise down on their luck due to circumstances beyond their control... they really deserve such charity.

    Has she filed for social security survivor's benefits? As a minor she should qualify based on what her dead parents paid in.
