Kim's Good Karma Group, founded by Miami philanthropist Kimberly Shenker-Bacardi, is a charitable organization consisting of herself and friends dedicated to helping those less fortunate worldwide. Ms. Bacardi became aware of the colossal work Food For The Poor (FFP) has undertaken in Haiti after witnessing her neighbor Dr. Jules Cadet tirelessly raise funds over the past few years for his countrymen. As Ms. Bacardi is well aware of how important fundraising is for any organization she decided to go where her heart guided her here in was born Kim's Good Karma Group.
After visiting Haiti on a mission trip with Food For The Poor and The Florida Marlins, Ms. Bacardi recognized the need to help. The conditions she witnessed left her with these words, “It’s worse than having nothing! Even clothes become a burden, the heat, stench and filth make daily life unbearable!” This is everyday life in Haiti prior to the earthquake and why Ms. Bacardi is determined to help along with her friends to make Haiti a better place to live… one family at a time. On her recent trip with FFP and the Marlins she visited many of the FFP villages, orphanages and facilities they constructed, she was moved by her experiences so much so that she decided that this would be the first fundraising effort that Kim's Good Karma Group (KGKG) would take on raising funds for the construction of the Kim's Good Karma Group community center within the Marlins Homes For Haiti Village built by Food For The Poor.
The KGKG Community Center
This will be a place that will have so many uses such as vocational training classes and community meetings as well as offer a safe and sturdy shelter during hurricane season. “I am so excited for this opportunity because it does not stop here; as the more money we raise, the more lives we can positively affect.”
Everyone, please help in making this village the most it can be! The plans are to have a minimum of 25 homes, sanitation, a water source and community center. Our goal for the community center is $40,000 and the more you give the more we can add to help more families with additional houses, solar lighting and agriculture. We will be planning several events, so please watch for details.

Kimberly,
I would say you have found your purpose and mission in life. God bless you! I cannot attend your event but am happy to support your efforts. I was in Haiti 25 years ago and was also struck by the horrific living conditions. I have done some things for Haiti and for the predominantly Haitian schools in Miami. I also sponsor a Haitian child through Compassion International.
