Good Morning,First time posting and for a good cause... I have lived in Kingwood for over fifteen years and I have witnessed over and over again how our residents come together when someone is in need... I have created an indiegogo account to try to organize a fundraiser for my friend... here's a little about her story...Elena, my life-long friend, started her career as an elementary school teacher, job that she enjoyed very much. Her passion was teaching at an inner-city school to underprivileged children. She taught for many years when complications with her undiagnosed diabetes took her sight. This as you can imagine, caused a great change on her and her husband's life... Because of her health issues and lost of sight, Elena could not have a regular job and that made it so much difficult to keep up with their regular living bills.When her husband lost his job, they began struggling to keep up with all the basic needs expenses, but barely making it... With medical expenses, it made it very difficult to continue to pay their bills, always with the thought "We will catch-up a little later". Now their home is about to be auctioned if they cannot come up with $10,000 to pay for their missed home payments and additional bank foreclosure expenses.If you can help, any amount matters...$5, $10, anything!There are two ways to help: 1. Donate - even small donations raise our popularity and give us more visibility on the site. 2. Post to Facebook - in the end, the more people hear about us, the more likely we are to meet our target. Indiegogo Life has no fees, so anything we raise goes directly to our goal. Thank you!
