Day 21: Karla Self

I met Karla through my sister, they are close friends, and Karla used to live across the street from us a few years ago. I ended up babysitting her son Noah, and even babysat for her sweet Haley a time or two, although she was always asleep.

Karla is another person who’s always been there for me when I needed advice or just an ear to talk off about problems with my mother. Knowing both Andrea and I, she knew what was going on and she always made a point to see how it was going and let me vent. She’s such a sweet, compassionate person. Her husband and children are so wonderful, too, they’re such a great family! She helped me to realize I needed to get a budget together to get my horrible finances under control, she showed me how to check my credit score to see what I was facing. She really is the one who got the ball rolling for me with regards to getting out of debt. She pushed me in the right direction, and Andrew helped me cross the finish line. She even helped to give a single mom the gift of Christmas presents for her children one year when I was talking to her about the situation. I wasn’t asking for her help, she just gave it. She’s an amazing lady!!

Karla, you have listened to me so much the last few years, and I always feel blessed that I got a chance to know you and that I can call you my friend. Thank you for all you have done for me, thank you for being the selfless person that you are, thanks for EVERYTHING!!
