Ryan Tonkovich and his sister started a reading program to help kids build literacy skills during the COVID pandemic, but it’s become so much more.

K4C's inspiration & namesake, Cara, chose to help others, even when she was in need of help herself.

Her struggles never prevented her from living greatly, and during the hardest of times, her spirit grew🧡

Our family believes the future of our nation and our world depends on citizen leaders who, beginning at a young age, develop compassion and empathy as life skills. Karma for Cara is our way of ensuring more young people have the chance to do just that.
