Kandi does good with her money and operates Kandi Cares, here is info from their about page:

Kandi Cares is dedicated to providing Education, Empowerment & Enrichment to the lives of single parents, and children who are the product of single parent homes.

EDUCATION:
Education is more than reading, writing, and arithmetic. It is one of the most important investments you can make into your future and is critical to reducing poverty and inequality.

The impact of education is profound: education results in raising income, improving health, promoting gender equality, mitigating climate change, and reducing poverty.

Girls and boys who learn to read, write and count will provide a better future for their families. With improved education, so many other areas are positively affected. Education has the power to make the world a better place.

EMPOWERMENT:
1 in 4 children in the US are growing up in a single parent home. Single parents have much higher likelihood to live in poverty, as they face incredible work/life balance issues. Single Parent Families have unique needs and issues constantly affecting their inability to overcome ruin. The emotional and financial toll on most of these families is actually helping to create an even younger population of single parents who are just children themselves.

Kandi Cares is committed to breaking this cycle and to help build resource connections for families that help them to become more productive, more resourceful and more informed on how to be the best parent they can be for their children.

Kandi Cares and it’s growing community has already provided school supplies, food, toys, beds, and hope to families that are in need, and we will to continue making a profound difference in the lives of single parents and their families in the years to come.

ENRICHMENT:
Kandi Cares strives to enrich the lives of single parents and their families by offering a variety of programs. The goal is to understand the family’s current level of functioning and to identify and work through barriers the family faces in reaching their full potential.

Whether you are single parenting through divorce, death, deployment, or abandonment; no one can be “prepared” for the challenges of single parenting. Each parent possesses strengths and areas in which they can improve but most need reliable, non-judgmental and steadfast support including basic concrete needs.

We envision every single parent and their family thriving in the areas of home, interpersonal relationships, community, employment, education, emotional well-being, health and spirituality.

An amazing career, she is so much more than meets the eye!
