Who We Are
Our Inspiration
The Karen Lynn Foundation of Hope was founded in memory of Karen Lynn Howell, (affectionately called Ma to neighborhood children).
Karen was a pillar in her community, providing tax services, feeding families and individuals in need and buying furniture for people who were not able to afford it.
Honoring the spirit of Karen and the difference she made in the community, The KL Foundation of Hope became a vision of her youngest daughter to continue to have her mother’s spirit doing what she loved to do, giving back to community and people less fortunate than her.
Through all of our endeavors we hope to display the conviction behind our beliefs.
