I have found the Active Rain and Realtor community to be the most generous of all people I know. Many here do not know me, yet we share a common love for a generous woman who has given us much.
I have personally met Karen and Michael and am blessed to have had the opportunity. This couple was amazing together; with strength I admired. Last year I set up an account to help Karen and Michael through some tough times - it's hard to work and keep up with the ongoing bills when you are struggling with Chemo, loss of work, trips to the hospital, etc.
A couple of people have asked if the account is still open and unfortunately, they only allow beneficiary accounts a maximum 6-12 months. The account I originally opened has been closed. In place of that account, I have opened a PayPal account. Please post on your own site and let's help Michael, as a final gift to Karen.
I hate to pop in here at AR and ask for donations for Michael to assist in the ongoing expenses he will ultimately face. I know Karen maxed out her lifetime benefits for cancer treatment a long time ago.
Copy the code and post to your own site.
Thanks and Blessings to all,

Hi Paula,
Done...and thank you for doing this for them. Karen helped so many of us here in the Rain, I'm one who personally benefited from her knowledge and wisdom.
As for expenses, you/we have no idea what it's like to go through a life-threatening illness until it happens to you or anyone in your family. It impacts everything you do. God Bless them all!
Linda - I did also. I knew nothing about blogging, SEO or internet strategy when I came to the rain. She left behind her success in many of our lives.
I know you know about the expenses such a disease. Thank you for contributing.
Paula-I am so deeply sadden today..tears just roll down my face. Karen did so much for so many and she is one of the many who has kept me blogging. This is a wonderful thing you are doing and I am so very happy to contribute.
p.s. I added the widget on my blog!
Paula, can you go back and add the reblog button? This is a great use of it and since you have not been posting on AR much, it might be fixed. Might also be good to put on agentgenius. I know they will have tons of expenses. If we can reblog it it will be easier to get the word out?
Midori - I know, my heart aches. Thank you so much!
Missy - I have enable reblogging. Thanks!
Paula - Thanks for doing this, Missy's idea is great, relogging would work well.
Thank you everyone - wow! God Bless you!
I am featuring this in,"Christianity and Real Estate".......
I do not have money to give, BUT....I can feature this and
pray for the family, which I am doing along with a LONG list of others!!
=-)
Alexander - Thank you! Prayers are needed and appreciated.
Thanks to everyone who contributed here, If I know Michael he will cry and be extremely grateful. Blessings to you all,
