How Time for Change Founder Kim Carter Helped Turn This Nurse’s Life Around

Time for Change founder Kim Carter received the ultimate surprise from a woman who was greatly impacted by her generosity.

On Thursday’s episode of “The Jennifer Hudson Show,” Jennifer Hudson sat down with Kim, whom she portrayed in “Pepcy & Kim” — a short directed by Taraji P. Henson and co-starring Pauletta Washington that is a part of the anthology film “Tell It Like a Woman.”

During the interview, Kim opened up about being born “on the wrong side of the tracks” and how her troubled childhood led her to drug use and jail time.

After leaving prison, things looked up for Kim when she reunited with her daughter and found steady employment. Despite this, Kim knew she had a bigger purpose, and received a message from God to start Time for Change, a foundation that assists homeless women and children achieve self-sufficiency by providing housing and necessary supportive services.

Later in the episode, Jennifer surprised Kim when she brought out Keisha Murphy, a woman Kim had helped.

After giving Kim a beautiful bouquet of flowers, Keisha told her story of how she was expelled from college just six months before graduation and was greatly burdened with student loan debt.

However, after Kim provided her affordable housing, Keisha was able to turn her life around and become a registered nurse.
