Make Someone's Christmas 2017 - Karen Morgan

We've joined forces with Kent Reliance again to make Christmas 2017 for a number of people in Kent, the best yet.

Day 6 nomination comes from Yvonne Roberts, nominating Karen Morgan and here is why!

Karen is a tiny dynamo of a woman! Karen is coming up to 59 years old but she has the drive and energy of a 20 year old!

I have never met anyone with so much energy and so focused on everyone else except herself. Karen has a disabled son who is now 21 years old.

She has worked tirelessly to understand his difficulties by working in a school for disabled children and being as involved as she could with the disabled community.

She has worked wonders with her son and although now, she has very reluctantly found assisted living accommodation for him, she continues to be very involved with him each and every day.

She is an amazing mother, and she also looks after her mother which is almost a full-time job in itself since her Mum had a stroke earlier this year.

Karen is also a very active member of the Centre mind body spirit that I run. If I need any assistance from opening the doors if I can’t make it, to painting the walls and glossing the paintwork to offering her services as a Reiki healer for free (donations to the Centre) and rarely misses a week, unless it’s to help her mum or sun.

Karen has rescued two dogs and they are much loved and looked for.

In addition to all this, there are so many friends that owe her a debt of gratitude just for being there when they need help. Again, from taking them for hospital appointments, to dog sitting, to taking them in when in trouble, to just being on the end of the phone to listen to their problems. In all the time I have known her, which is about 5 years, I have rarely ever heard her say no to anyone. Despite running from one thing to another, she makes it work.

I know there are times, she is totally exhausted but even then she will still be there if you need her. What would I like you to do for her? I think she deserves a spa weekend to be pampered, a nice room, with nice food and some lovely treatments. I am sure, she would be so overwhelmed at something like this. She never ever asks for anything for herself, and I for one am privileged to call her a friend.

She has enhanced my life and her generosity to everyone and especially me, knows no bounds. I would love to see her get something back for her, and just for her. Please consider her as she is so deserving of something special. Thank you
