Santa has been following Karabeth’s recovery and decided to use her gifting skills to start a fundraiser. Please help Santa spread cheer by passing on the link below and donating a few HOHOHO’s today. (She makes promises you’ll be on the good list next year).
If you have ever had loved ones traveling, living or deployed overseas you understand the constant stress of worrying about their safety. Karabeth is fighting for her life after a speeding motorcycle hit her while she was volunteering at an orphanage in India. This horrific accident could have happened to anyone. For this reason I am asking that we, as people striving to make a difference in this world, lend a helping hand to build a community around Karabeth and let her know that she isn’t alone in this fight to survive. Whether you are personally connected to Karabeth or you are a complete stranger, like myself, you have the opportunity to help. You have the opportunity to make someone feel loved and isn’t that what this life is all about?
Like many of you reading this, I’ve never heard Karabeth’s infectious laugh or witnessed her exuberant personality. She is described by close friends and family as a truly beautiful person, inside and out. Karabeth is an English teacher from the United States who works at a school near mine in South Korea. Her accident left her with 3 fractures in her right leg and left arm and a severe head injury that has now resulted to brain surgery. She does not have insurance covering her in India and has already built up over $35,000.00 in hospital bills and is still in intensive care. Her family in the states have contributed what they can to her hospital bills but can not afford to be with her overseas. It’s hard to bare the thought of knowing someone you love so much is hurt and you can not afford to be by their bed side. The amazing friend she was traveling with, Sunil Mahtani, has been holding her hand while trying to raise money to help her with the growing expenses. Both of their jobs are in jeopardy and Sunil is trying to arrange someone to be with Karabeth so he can return to Korea.
Please take the time to pass this website along to your friends and family as well contribute whatever possible. Karabeth has been talked about as one of the most caring and selfless individuals. Lets prove to her that people DO care about other people.
Thank you ALL for your kindness and support for your greatness is not what you have but what you give. I encourage you to leave a short message for Karabeth with your donation. After the fundraiser is complete a check will be sent from GiveForward.com to Karabeth Burton.
