ONCE HOMELESS NOW HEROINE KAREN TRILEVSKY

May 17 2010 PEOPLE magazine had a one page article on Karen Trilevsky, a once homeless but now heroine, woman, who is responsible for putting 67 people through college.

We're linking to her business here that has a copy of the article by Kristen Harmel.

It says that at 17 Karen fled her dysfunctional home to Denver, and in her 30's was working in restaurants in San Francisco. With $5000 she decided to start a cookie and scones baking company which - well - bloomed. But the $5000 ran out and Karen slept for a year on flour sacks in the storage room of a restaurant. Persistence paid off and now FullBloom employees 340 people with $47 in annual sales... With 2 million Karen began her scholarships.

This is very inspirational for us.
