Welcome to our website! There are a lot of changes happening, as well as many changes waiting to happen. We promise to keep you up to date on any events and news.
We thought it apt for our first post to declare our mission for the Carol Anne Clark Foundation:
The main objective of the not-for-profit Carol House/Carol Anne Clark Foundation will be to significantly enhance the quality of life of breast cancer sufferers who have forfeited their careers, primary source of income, and homes due to becoming victims of breast cancer.
To provide sustainable, long term relief/housing (a real place of residence they can call their HOME) and additional nurturing resources to those women and/or men with breast cancer, and to provide a program that effectively and substantially addresses a breast cancer victim’s housing requirements, financial and health related needs.
To bring together and partnership with interested community activists and other interested organizations and non-profit institutions who share our vision and focus to significantly increase the scope of the program’s impact and effectiveness.
Thank you for visiting!
Wonderful and beautiful website!!
Finally! A breast cancer organization that is doing something tangible for breast cancer victims!! Free homes in residential neighborhoods and free medical care for those women who have lost their careers, their homes, and their medical benefits – wonderful! I proudly support this organization and am thoroughly impressed by the actions it is taking!
What a beautiful website! Very inspirational!

Our sister Marsha, lost her battle to breast cancer 2 years ago tomorrow. Her faith in her lord carried her through her darkest moments. Next month is Breast Cancer Awareness Month , and many of you will make your donations, do your runs to raise money and many other charitable things. If I could ask my FB friends and family a favor. This year I would like you to go to a website and read about a new Not for profit organization, it is called the Carol House. The Carol House in my opinion goes above and beyond most. The Carol House is there for women who have been financially devistated from this disease and we give them a home of their own to go to, and their medical is completly taken care of !!! If that isn’t EXTRA ORDINARY AMAZING I don’t know what is !!!! So , please go to the website , read about Carol and her journey with Breast Cancer, read about Ron her devoted loving husband and the rest of her family. After you do that, I ask you to dig deep folks in your hearts and give to this EXTRA ORDINARY outside the box organization !!!! I will post the website next. Great big hugs to you all and here is to the HOPE of a brighter day for every women battling Breast Cancer.

Lori Glarum One more favor..if each of you would share this and the website on your pages,
My name is Lisa Wilkerson, Ron and Carol were our former neighbors,as for myself, my husband Barry and our two son, Brandon and Ryan, have been very special friends of Ron and Carol for over ten years, and we are now proud Spokespersons and Advocates for The Carol House Foundation. Carol was diagnosed with breast cancer in November 2004, and in early 2005 Carol’s chemotherapy was causing her beautiful ,long, blond hair to fall out in clumps. I am a hairdresser, and Carol asked me to shave her head. Carol was laughing while I shaved her head, she even wanted to use my shaver to shave her head also, but all I could do was cry, and she said “it will grow back” Carol fought breast cancer for seven years and on two occasions thought she had won her fight. Throughout her heroic struggle for her life, Carol lived as normal a life as possible, and on occasions we would all go to Disneyland together and have a fun day out, Ron and Carol would come to our sons sporting events and cheer them on, and come to a lot of our family gatherings. Despite what Carol was going through and the enormous amounts of chemotherapy she was subjected to, my friend always had a smile on her face, and we never heard her once complain. Carol and Ron were so much in love, and Ron’s devotion to his wife and the way he took care of her throughout her ordeal is beyond what any amount of words can describe. Carol wanted to do something extraordinarily different for people who lost their employment, and a lot more due to their cancer. Ron and his family have worked hard to bring Carol’s vision of providing housing solutions and other health related resources to a reality. As of October 1, 2012 The Carol House will be receiving its first family, a mother of two young children who has been diagnosed with stage two breast cancer, the same as Carol back in 2004. This was only made possible by Ron, who has given up his nice home, free of any rent to complete strangers ,who he has said they need it more than him. Ron has told us that he can always get another home but he can never find another Carol. Ron has ensured that Carol will have a legacy and her name will live on in our hearts and minds forever. I have a feeling there are going to be a lot more Carol Houses, and soon. I miss my friend Carol!! Lisa Wilkerson and family.
Carol Clark, it has been a year since you left us for heaven. We miss you, but your love for others is being carried out with The Carol House. A family now lives in the first house and others are to come. You left a legacy.
Ron and Kathryn Pletsch
You are so cool! I do not suppose I’ve read anything like this before. So nice to discover someone with some original thoughts on this issue. Seriously.. many thanks for starting this up. This website is something that is needed on the internet, someone with some originality!
Thank you Raisa for your kind words and heartfelt appreciation for what we are doing and providing for victims of breast cancer.
Wonderful post, I am going to bookmark thecarolhouse.org.
My husband, Doug, and I were close friends of Carol Clark. We met her many years ago when our husbands were both in The Kiwanis Club, in Agoura Hills, CA. We went to all the functions with our husbands and participated in bar-b-ques for the Special Olympics, Childhood Diabetes Walk, various school events/Football games,Pegasus Creek Ranch events and many other functions. Carol was a very loving and caring person, it was an honor for me to have her as a friend. Her giving continues with the Carol Houses, thanks to her husband Ron and her family who have gotten her dream to come true.
Folks, i met both Ron & Carol approx a year before Carol’s passing through a mutual friend. Both Clark’s left a lasting impression of loving/caring individuals, always there for their “neighbors”. Ron is a champion of the most regal sort, true to his word–indeed, a man who will cause events to emerge and happen. Obviously, he is carrying on as though Carol was at his side. It can be said a spark ignites into a flame and a flame unto fire. Well, both Carol and Ron had and have a flaming desire to help those with such an unscheduled affliction. It’s up to us, friends and neighbors to help Carol with her dream, Ron and many others needs be assisted with and helped along. Thanks for helping: Carol rejoices,God smiles and Ron hosts
