FAMILIES IN TRANSITION, Wonderful Central Florida 32765 Charity that is so WORTHY of Our Support

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Advantage III Realty in Lake Nona BK3059813

This has got to be at the top of your list of worthy, heartfelt organizations that need and deserve your help.

To all of the realtors on Active Rain, I am reaching out to each and everyone of you to please watch this video and then at the end, go to the following link:  FAMILIES IN TRANSITION.

Our company, Keller Williams allows our agents to contribute to any charity with each and every closing and I can tell you that our office each year first raises $3,000 for our internal charity KW Cares which pools money to be used for the benefit of agents and their families financially affected by natural disaster like the Joplin Tornados, or Hurricane Katrina.

Once we raise this amount each year, then our office decided to take on a more LOCAL PROJECT and this year we are raising $10,000 to feed 500 families in need a Traditional Christmas Meal here on the Treasure Coast. I have personally contributed from each closing to each of these, but after seeing this incredible story tonight on 60 minutes and knowing that this was in my very neighborhood I moved down from in 2004, I cannot help but be drawn back to helping such and incredibly worthy cause. And I am laying down the gauntlet to my own Keller Williams Agents of Central FL. This means you Oveido, and Waterford, and Lee Vista, and Vineland, and Lake Mary, and all the rest.

I know that if all of you ask your MCA's to contribute to this wonderful organization called FAMILIES IN TRANSITION, you will see a DIRECT IMPACT in your own backyard, and these are your future folks. Come on Agents, Let us UNITE and help the next generation y. We all know these are our future clients, our future elected officials, and even our future neighbors and could be future employees, so let's donate to this incredibly worthy cause. I now challenge you to watch this video and not shed a tear.

Good morning Kevin,

I couldn't agree more with Pat..I'm suggesting this post. I came over from Kathy's Ah ha moment this morning and I'm so glad I did. Thank you for helping and letting others know how they can lend our children a helping hand and getting their parents back on the pay roll!

Heartbreaking!  Truly a very humbling video.  I had no idea this was going on in Florida to this magnitude.  How helpless the parents must feel when they can't provide for their families, through no fault of their own.  So sad,  but amazing how these kids grow up so fast.  So glad I watched the video to the end and know that at least the families reported have homes and the parents have jobs now.

Hi Kevin, what a great story and video. At first I thought it would be too long to watch and now I feel that it was way too short. And we need to help.

Roger,

Unfortunately, I LIVE this everyday as SHORT SALES are my speciality.  I do take some comfort in getting relocation money for most of these families, and I even try to get them modified if they stand a chance which earns me nothing but good karma and a great feeling.

I think that it is admirable that Keller Williams has KW Cares.  The video was very touching and they sound to be a worthy cause.

Saw this on a reblog from Roger... great post!  And admirable that KW has organized KW Cares-- suggested, it should be featured! I recently did a post about the "Hearts Left Behind" that touches on the same things ... best,    K

Truer words were never spoken.  We do need to help these kids for the benefit of our future.

Evelyn,

This is just one of the very reasons I joined this Christian owned and operated company.  We are free to run our business, and are allowed to help clients even if it doesn't put money in the broker's pocket.

I went on a short sale listing last week and instead helped the owner get a modification and save his home. 

All I get is good karma but it sures feels good.

Brian,

Thanks so much and please keep reposting it and spreading the word.  If each of us 330,000 members even donated $10 each this wonderful organization could take another 4500 kid off the streets and back into homes.
