It saddens our hearts beyond measure losing our dear friend Kim. Kim was an Amazing Friend to so many of us. We have to thank Kid Rock and The Twisted Brown Trucker Band for their unknown participation in helping us all form such Amazing friendships over the past decade with Kimi! She left behind two little angels, Jolene and Nicole. Her loving mother Deloris and brother Bobby. Her sweet niece Hannah and loving partner Merle. As well as countless Friends! I am quite confident that her Father Robert is walking with our beloved Kim in heaven right now as I type this.
Kim touched countless lives over the years without even knowing it. She was the type of friend who was always the first to chime in when you needed encouragement, support or simply a little love. Her spirit
was Beautiful and her zest for life was contagious!
We have created this Fundraiser in hopes of funding enough money to pay for the entire cost of Kims funeral.
The total cost for the funeral was $6069.00
We have added an additional $431.00 to cover the 2.9% and .30 cent per transation fee that paypal will charge.
Rest assured ALL donations and monies will be accounted for at the end of our fundraiser. A Full report will be printed and sent to Kim's family. So please Give as Much as you can!!
With Deloris' permission I have been given permission to collect all monies and pay WM Sullivan Funeral Home in Utica, MI. directly at the end of this fundraiser.
On behalf of Kim's Mother and family, they can't thank you enough for your kindness in this difficult time in the lives.
Please share this link with all of your friends! I have faith in all of YOU... If everyone participates, I feel confident that our Goal can be reached and this financial burden can be lifted from the families shoulders!
To All of Kim's Family and Close Friends! Our deepest Sympathy and Heartfelt Condolences to you all...
With Love Across the Miles ...Please help make a difference and donate even a dollar!
"Only God Knows Why" Kim was taken so soon.
But Gaurantee "You Never Met A MotherF***** Quite Like
Kim's Kid Rockin Family!!!!
Rest in Peace Kimi..
We love you so much and miss you like crazy!
Let your Light Shine Beautiful Girl, in All of our hearts!

Please donate what you can. I understand times are hard for us all right now-all around the country-BUT could you imagine how hard it must be for Kim's 2 little girls to have to deal with their mom being taken from them so quick and at such a young age? The financial burden as well. Funerals are so expensive these days, not to mention the 2 little girls needs that are left behind to be cared for by their G'ma. Anything you can spare will be greatly appreciated.
Kimi was such a wonderful person... and I know she's looking down from Heaven and smiling from all the love that her KR family is showing. She'd do the same for anyone of us. It's so touching to see so much caring and love. I've made a donation already, as well.... but I plan on making another small one before July 2nd. Every bit helps. She's in our hearts forever.
I donated some withing the last week. I have my paypal receipt too.
Hi Everyone... Just an update for you all! There have been 61 donations and we've raised $2,570 so far ! Thank you thank you...However' we've not had many donations this past week and we're only at 39% towards reaching our goal of $6500 by July 2 ... If we don't get more donations and quick, I'm thinking it' gonna be difficult to reach our goal...so with that being said...please do what you can to raise awareness to this fundraiser for Kimi's burial expenses... If you havent made a donation yourself, please take time and do so... Every dollar counts and will be forever grateful!
BUMP
Update: according to Alicia's thread, donations as of yesterday total 57 with $2415 raised so far.

It has been brought to my attention that there may be others wanting to donate that cant do so online via our ChipIn link for whatever reasons. I spoke with Kimi's Mom Dee and the Funeral home and you may Snail Mail your donations directly to the funeral home is you wish...

For the cost of ONE visit through a fast food drive thru , WE can reach our goal of $6500! It doesn't take much if EVERYONE reading this would 'ChipIn'...We need all of your help to reach our goal... Please take a moment right now and make a donation ... just put yourself in this scenerio...if you left your family behind ...wouldn't it be nice to know that the kindness of others would help out your family and the huge financial burden funerals place upon families? We're ALL gonna be in this situation at one time or another...on Both sides of this fence...
If you find it in your heart, please donate now...Thank you! Xo
Well said Kelly!
I just want to add:
If it was one of us, (ANY fan here) that was going thru anything similar, trust me Kim would be one of the first to step up and help out. It's just who she was! Such a beautiful and caring soul and always willing to help someone out who was in need.
We have raised $1681 so far with 38 donations!! Whatever you All are doing...keep it going!! There have been many donations all across the country...Even Hawaii! : ) People care and however you need to reach your friends...I trust you know best! Love you all and Thank You! We are at 25% of reaching our goal!! ?
P.S Knowing that Kimi had her Fav pic of Bob and her beautiful KidRock bracelet buried with her, really touches my heart. She really did LOVE Kid Rock and the Twisted Brown Trucker band, didnt she!?
People are usually laid to rest with small trinkets that have immense meaning to them...this speaks volumes now doesn't it? She not only loved the band, but she loved what the band represents to us all... Family... We are BLESSED to have even know her and shared in her Love and Light while on this eartth... Rest In Peace Sweetpea! Xo
BUMP!
Kim had her favorite Kid Rock picture and was wearing her handmade rhinestone Kid Rock bracelet at her Memorial Service. She was and still is the true definition of a GREAT fan!
But most importantly, she was one of the best mommy's two young girls could have. She carried the role of both mother and father, and all it would take is approximately 20 seconds in the presence of her two young daughters to see....these two young ladies have been raised by an all around wonderful human being.

today's bump!
bump to the top
Me too :))
I got en email from paypal to do a survey on their customer support. Oh Lordy!!! haha
Alicia your welcome. I never Quit! I see things through! Just one of those things this time, not gonna lie I was frustrated at what they put me (pp)through. Yet again they wre looking out for me :)
So glad that Mess got straightened out Missy & Alicia!
I didn't take what you posted in the negative way Missy, but I wasn't sure exactly and wanted to make sure you knew what I meant just in case. lol
Peace
Hi Everyone,
I just got home from work and checked on the status of our fundraiser. I have to admit I just had a good cry...I am so touched beyond words at the generosity of you all! I sit here in tears again, ....death is such a part of Living, but it is NEVER an easy process to go through... every tear that falls over a loved one, leads you one step closer to where you eventually will be when and where it doesn't hurt as much. Kim has been gone for less than a week. In this short time, I've watched friends get reacquainted, and I've heard several talk about the importance of being aware of those in and around your life. I truly believe we're all connected... I wrote a phrase long ago that I often use
when I'm referring to how I truly believe we're all linked together, be it in the smallest of moments or a lifetime of togetherness...
"There is a glimmer of light within us all, who's connection melds us together like a moth to the flame. Never suspecting the outcome...just moving towards eachother, in hopes of finding what we need." -Alicia
I want to thank you all again, and Missy I felt so badly that you had such a difficult time with your last donation. I want to especially send you a huge thank you for being persistent and not giving up. Your act of kindness will not be forgotten!
The paypal account got verified this morning and I noticed the Chipin box is Live and kicking!! : )
We can now watch the progress of our fundraiser... I am THRILLED to announce that we have raised $1070 with 20 Donations!! From the depth of my soul, thank you thank you!!
Please pass the link to everyone on your facebook pages etc... and please continue to repost on yours until we reach our goal... I believe in Love... I believe in Kindness.... I Believe in Helping others when they need it the most, but Most Importantly I believe in YOU.... and I'm SOOOooo proud to be a part of this "KidRock Twisted Brown Trucker, Family"!
With Love,
-Ali
Hey T, No sorry if it came off like that to you, That was not my intent, I just can;t believe what a process this has been. Talked to paypal AGAIN, They stated because the account was not verified on Alicias end, and for my protection and me being away from home and a different IP of where made the 2nd donation it sent flags! I was away for most of the weekend, that is why it was in review. After I went off on them this last phone call and explained 1 last time on how many calls and emails and whatever had to be done and was done and get it done ASAP
Anyhow the money was taken out of my account for this donation and they are now *escalating* the review time and sent me an apology letter for all the BS involved. I know they did it on my behalf, which was cool. Yet it also wasted a lot of my time to do something nice and I, in hindsight should of waited til after the weekend to do this and all was (set-up fund(verified)and I was on my own pc and Sorry for all the inconviences and confusion. The payment will be completed in hours.
I was just relaying what I was being told via Pay Pal and I am sure Alicia was told, well I don't know what they told her. lol Anyhow hopefully in a few hours this will be handled.
So keep giving it up for Kim and Her family in a time of need!
Missy I just hot an email notice from paypal it finally went through!! Thank you so much!! : )
I am at work and looking thru my phone! I'll check paypal tonight and make sure everything is AOk!
Missy just so there isn't a misunderstanding, I wasn't saying that you didn't know what you were doing, not at all. What my post meant was that Technology gets the best of us in the manner that it sometimes screws up on the simplest things. Have u every tried to look up something on here thru Yellow Pages and just gave up and called information or got out the old handy Telephone Book? Sometimes the old fashion way is just plain faster and easier! lol
I know that isn't the best reference-YP- but it's all that came to mind atm.
Good Luck, hope they get it resolved asap on whatever end.
Sorry, They clearly said it was on your end and it shows on my paypal the transaction was complete! I will re-check it again. I am going to call them one more time!
This is really goofy imo.
Redwing I am getting confirmations and all! I know how to use Paypal. I use it frequently! I also got confirmations again today from Chip In ( I have received 6 confirmations in total from Chip in (all in the last few days) and then called Paypal to verify! which I spoke with them 3 different times now and all received all their emails on their end!. The balance on my paypal account is gone (money) and Paypal assured me it was all good and something Alicia had to do on her (activate) end to receive them. It will get figured out. hopefully!
Missy,I just spoke with paypal and they said it was on your end.. Try canceling the donation and breaking it down into smaller payments? I'm so sorry you're having such a difficult time getting it to go through... My account got verified this morning.. All donations have gone thru ok except this one. There is no way for me to accept yours cuz paypal has it under review! :(
That's strange Missy-I received a receipt from Pay Pal the day I donated-the 28th-
And then today received a receipt from Chipin.
I'm sure it will get resolved very soon.........
-Sometimes technology gets the best of us, and they have the nerve to call it making life simpler! uggh
bump
Sorry to bother you Alicia, the *review* is coming from your end and I have no contact with you except through this post. Paypal and I discussed everything again today. Paypal knows what I sent and maybe it is because your set-up is not complete on your end??? I don't know. Maybe you can give some insight on this problem. They said it is something you have to do to receive the funds. Just giving you a heads up.
Please let me know.
AWwwwwwwwwwwwwwww thank you for the knd words Donna! : )
