My Story

Kara Dawn Richardson was born on August 10th, 1992. Everyone that ever met Kara fell in love with her sweet bubbly personality and awesome smile, and she loved everyone in return. She totally loved God, and was very involved in her home church, going to youth and just helping everyone. She loved playing soccer and volleyball, and just loved being with her close friends. In August of September of 2006, she found out that she had leukemia. She fought a long hard fight, and on August 26th, 2007, she went HOME to be with Jesus. She is greatly loved by so many, and will be greatly missed until that amazing day when we see her again in heaven!

Here is an excerpt from a local newspaper that wrote about her:

"Kara Richardson was given a wonderful gift. During her lifetime, she touched and changed thousands of lives. It was an incredible feat for a 15-year-old girl. Unfortunately, no amount of love or medicine could change fate for the teen. Kara died Sunday after fighting a yearlong battle with leukemia. But because of Kara, more than 600 people were screened as potential bone-marrow donors. Even though Kara can't benefit, others may. It was through the work of local firemen and their wives that a bone-marrow testing drive was started. Doctors found a match, but Kara became to ill for the transplant. Kara brought out the best in the community. Folks rallied to hold rummage sales, pancake feeds and entertainment benefits to support Kara and her family. When Kara died, those who knew her shed tears for a girl seemingly taken from this life too early. The loss of her life will be felt, but the giving spirit shouldn't end with the passing of this courageous teen. On any given weekend, you can find an even that's being held to help someone in need. Help keep Kara's legacy alive. Help change someone's life."
