10 Ways to Help Me Eliminate Homelessness Welcome and welcome back! It's another amazing day in paradise . Thank you for being here. If you don't know me, here's an introduction.  My name is Kara Lynn Sanders. My nickname is Kai.  My super s-hero name is Momma Kai because I discovered my superpowers being a mom. I have the honor and privilege of being the mom and student of a young Black male superhero who is almost 7 and a half. The name God gave him when I was pregnant is Wisdom and he is my heart beating outside of me. Since August of 2019, my son and I have been on a journey through the perils of poverty here in Raleigh. At some point God told me not to take it personally. I needed to pay attention. So despite the very real financial challenges we've faced, I've paid attention.  What I have learned in almost 4 years is remarkable. For the past 6 weeks or so, Wisdom and I have chosen to live out of our car so we can be seen and heard. We attended community meetin...

The Kind Nine It's another amazing day in paradise. Thank you so much for being here. I'm honored you would take the time to find out more about The Kind Nine.  Whenever God invites me to do something, there are times when I embrace it whole-heartedly and there are times when I really don't. When the invitation is to get out and talk to people (this could be cold calling or in the streets), I can be hot or cold. It really depends on what I'm supposed to talk to them about.  When all is said and done, I am more concerned about the impact it has had on my superhero son than what the results of the interactions have been. After being out for several hours and watching him, I am realizing this angle is not for us. So I'm reaching out to people to be kind to this mom whose son has been sent to change the world. And he has, starting with mine! Now it's time to do it for others. Will you help us? I am seeking for nine people who will each invest $500 in our campaign ca...

Return On Investment It's another amazing day in paradise. Thank you so much for being here. There is so much going on. It takes a lot of work to launch a business. But there are even more challenges when you know it's going to change the world.  I'm grateful though. I'm grateful for every step of this experience. And I'm grateful I've been prepared to do it. I'm grateful I don't have to live without fear. I'm grateful I'm choosing to be courageous today. My courage is still being used to ask for financial support. This is the most challenging part for me.  There is a fundraiser on PayPal called The NEW Emancipation Proclamation to generate the funds needed to launch. Anyone who contributes to our campaign is considered a investor.  All investments are entitled to a return. Under the $200 threshold there are gifts. When our investors contribute more than $200 they will still receive gifts but they will also double their money back within the nex...

The Circle is Bold! Today is Thursday, August 18, 2022. It is another amazing day in paradise. Thank you so much for being here. It is an honor to be your host. On Monday, I wrote about coming full circle. Usually that means that you started somewhere, took a journey and ended up back where you started. Wellll... I needed to take another trip around the circle so I could get it all the way right. Now the circle is completely complete and BOLD! Whenever I have thought about hosting a fundraiser, I always want to give back. I don't think about the money that comes in as a donation. I think of it as an investment. And with all investments, there should be a return.  I have an active fundraiser on the PayPal Generosity Network. It is called "Emancipated Parenting" and ends in 2 days, on Saturday, August 20. ( Edited 8.24.2022: The name of the latest fundraiser is called "The NEW Emancipation Proclamation". Here's the link:  https://www.paypal.com/pools/c/8MFLRP...

Coming Full Circle Today is Monday, August 15, 2022. Happy Monday. It is another amazing day in paradise. Thank you for being here.  This has been a phenomenal year for my son and I. August alone has been an epic month already and it's only half over. We are in the last week of a 30 day fundraising campaign called "From Poverty to Prosperity" . I have rewritten the description at least 10 times and it finally says what I feel it should have said all along. Now I'm ready to truly market  it. If you are interested in investing in our future please receive our immense gratitude. We are extremely honored, humbled and grateful. Know that by providing financial support to us, you are also investing in every other person whose lives will be touched by the business we're building, namely L.U.V. Enterprises. As a tangible way to say thank you we are offering the following gifts for anyone who invests at the levels noted: *$1-49: Parent Coaching Preview *$50-99:  Parent Coa...

From Poverty to Prosperity Today is Friday, August 5, 2022. It is yet another amazing day in paradise. Thank you so much for being here.  This post is connected to the PayPal Fundraiser of the same name. To give you a little history, my name is Kara Lynn Sanders. Most people know me as Kai or Momma Kai. I have the honor, pleasure and privilege of being the mom of a vibrant, dynamic, charming, intelligent, Loving, handsome, beautiful and liberated young Black male superhero.  We have been without stable housing for the last 3 years. At some point in our journey God told me not to take it personal. I needed to pay attention because He needed me to learn some things. It has been a wild ride, "OH the stories I could tell!" But I'm grateful God chose me and I chose Him because here we are today. I recently completed my parent coach training with the Jai Institute for Parenting. It is a compilation of the lessons I learned in class and the information God directed me to "...

It's Time To Rise Where We've Been It's another amazing day in paradise. Thank you for being here (potentially again). I'm so excited and grateful to share a little bit about where we've been. This entry could be long so I'm going to direct you to an entry I posted a little more than a year ago called "Portraits of Our Poverty" . It will give you a good idea of where we've been. Even if you don't read the post, the pictures will speak to you. The date on the title of the blog post is actually wrong. It's NINE months off! It says November but it was written in February. I decided not to fix it. Perhaps that will give you a glimpse into my state of mind back then! Right now, I want to give you some of the highlights of the last 3 years. In case you missed it, on Monday, I wrote about Where We're Headed . On Tuesday, I wrote about Where We Are Now . Today it's about some of the lessons I've learned based on where we've been. Th...
