The house at 9119 W. 113th Street in Overland Park represented a chance at a new life for Kar Woo’s parents when they emigrated from Hong Kong more than three decades ago. Now that they are gone, Woo, founder of the non-profit Artists Helping the Homeless, hopes to offer the same thing to people struggling with addiction. “I feel like this house has provided the opportunity for my parents to start a new life. I think this will give other people from here the opportunity to start a new life also,” said Woo, who lost his mother to cancer last year and still lives in the neighborhood.
