This placed a burden on Kathi to not only care for her husband in his\nillness, but to deal with day to day life. It became too much for her to manage\nand maintain the property. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But there was another problem: the longtime tenant of the home had developed a compulsive hoarding disorder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Someone happen to mention to Kathi: &#8220;Why don&#8217;t you donate your home to charity?&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kathi sought out Kars4Kids to see if we\u2019d accept the property as a donation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p> We agreed to accept the property and took care of the title and transfer process.  <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kars4kids.org\/real-estate\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/thumbnail_1544805059.jpg?resize=450%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"property donated to Kars4Kids charity\" class=\"wp-image-178\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kars4kids.org\/real-estate\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/thumbnail_1544805059.jpg?w=450&amp;ssl=1 450w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kars4kids.org\/real-estate\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/thumbnail_1544805059.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption style=\"text-align:center;\"> The property Kathy donated to our Charity <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Kathi was now free of the problematic property.
