Jennie J hasn't added a story.
Hello and thank you for taking the time to read this:
My name is Jennie Miller and I am the sister of Kellie Renee Howard. Kellie is a 20 year old student at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. She is studying Communications Media and in her 3rd year. She has always been an "A" student and is on the Dean's list. She is a caring and kind young woman who fell into a trap...
Last year on June 24th, one day after her 19th birthday Kellie experienced a life changing event...her father passed away. He was brutally beaten and later died in the hospital. Kellie unfortunately wasn't very close to her Dad because of life that he had chosen to live, but she had always hoped for a chance to have him as a father. That chance was gone.
Later that year Kellie fell very ill. She was in constant pain for months and then finally fell ill with a fever. She was taken to the hospital to find out that she had pnuemonia, but with further tests she was later diagnosed with a life changing disease called lupus. This disease attacks your body from the inside out. Her chance for having a life without bouts of pain and discomfort was gone.
During 2015, Kellie continued to go to school and work. She decided to move out on her own in August. (Side note: the main picture that you see is her in Florida visiting my sister in the summer before her move.)
After her move I noticed that Kellie became quite distant. I was busy with a new baby and didn't really notice how distant she had become until very recently. I know that she met a 32 year old man and he began to take advantage of her during the time that she was living on her own.
On Monday, November 2nd, Kellie was arrested with this man and framed for serious drug charges. Her bail is $50,000 and a lawyer to deal with the charges that she is facing will cost thousands. I cannot elaborate on the details because this is a pending legal matter, so I appreciate your understanding.
Kellie has never been in trouble before and I know that she wants to have a successful life and a family. If she is convicted of these charges, her life will be forever changed. We are pulling together to help her as much as we can, but the costs already are above and beyond.
She is a good girl who is facing another life changing event. I'm asking as humbly as I can for donations because of the situation. I realize that we make our own decisions and we should account for them, but we all make mistakes and deserve a second chance. Please help me prevent another negative life changing event for Kellie. I love her and her family loves her. We thank you for anything that you can do and for taking the time to read this.
