Our dear and amazing sister (in-law) Keren is pregnant!!! With twins!

Please join us in welcoming her little ones, due in January 2016. For all of us, near and far, there are wonderful ways to support, contribute and share the love and joy as she embarks on this exciting journey.

Choosing to raise a family as a single parent is a brave and unconventional choice. If anyone can do it, it’s Keren. Nonetheless, providing for her young ones while also caring for them is not an easy task – especially with twins. Different places in the world handle this differently.  In Sweden, all parents get 13 months of paid leave, a monthly stipend for each child until they are 18 years old, and subsidized childcare. In Ghana, the village children strap babies on their backs and play with them while mothers prepare a meal or tend to their  business.  In the US, we fundraise on the internet.

Keren has developed a 2-year draft plan to birth and begin raising her family in Santa Fe, before moving on to a kibbutz or another form of intentional community. Keren has a strong and supportive community in Santa Fe, yet we want to make the nest fully complete for the 3 of them: we are hoping you - family and friends from all over - can participate.

Please join this crowd-funding so we can reach our goal!

  • Sponsor a month with a $400 contribution
  • Co-Sponsor a month with a $200 contribution.

-With 48 (or more) loving community members as co-sponsors, we can have a complete nest for Keren & Co for the whole 2 years.

If the above are not options for you, we gratefully invite you to:

  • Contribute any amount as a partial sponsorship
  • Send warm wishes, prayers and kind thoughts
  • If you live near, become part of the meal-prep and baby-holding shifts for their first few months
  • Express your participation in any way you are moved to! :-)

 

We’re setting it up so that Sponsorships will be attributed to a particular month and so, when it’s your “sponsorship month” keren will be delighted to communicate via email her personal gratitude, little progress updates and photos….a tangible and warm way to weave this community nest!

Your contribution of $200 or more will provide Keren & Co:

  • Funds to cover the basic essentials, in addition to state support and her parents' donated housing.
  • Energy to pursue a new branch of her work as a long term, income-generating business. This has already been started under brother Mike's coaching. More details to follow!
  • Time to seek and apply for temporary, hourly work to build up savings for the children and herself.
  • Peace of mind and an abundant sense of love, humanity and community around her in order to grace the two new precious forming lives.

 

Here’s how:

  • click on the pink “donate now” button on this page. Note: you can choose to list your name or be listed as "anonymous" **Please note that IndieGoGo offers an option to add additional sum to support IndieGoGo directly. This is an optional amount and does not fund keren's campaign**
  • to sign up for meals and baby holding “rotations” - email carmen at

ravenfeather.carmen@gmail.com

 

**  We wish to offer a loving hand to her now, through this transitional time, so that she can start off her new family feeling nourished and loved!  **

Love from Lee, Michael and Alicia Abrams
