About Karen’s Kids Trust: Karen is a single mother of two living in the area. Her 16 year old daughter, Kali has AVM (Arterial Venus Malformation) in her brain which is inoperable. This has prevented Kali from attending school this year. Karen is her caregiver which means she had to stop working. Our goal is to raise money to assist them with living expenses and unpaid medical bills. A Trust has been set up in Karen’s name for this fundraiser. Any amount given is greatly appreciated.
