Kosair Kids
Griff Powell
Shortly after Griff Powell was born, he had trouble breathing. Unsure of the cause, doctors spent several days testing Griff to find an answer. He was soon diagnosed with a rare form of Down syndrome. It is the thought of Kosair’s help going forward that eases his parents’ mind.
Addie Childers
Following complications at birth, Addie Childers was diagnosed with symptoms similar to cerebral palsy. She would need expensive therapy to live a full life. Her parents, Dustin and Jill, were left scrambling when their insurance declined coverage for Addie’s necessary therapy. The Childers knew of one place to turn, Kosair Charities. Fortunately, Kosair covered all of Addie’s medical bills. It is a blessing the Childers family works hard to pass on.
Lexi Palmer
At just 7 weeks old, Lexi was diagnosed with infantile botulism, an illness that can occur when an infant ingests bacteria that produce a toxin inside the body.
Kamauri Wayne Dean Harris
Every parent wants the best for their child, but sometimes situations make it feel impossible to give them the best we know they deserve. That’s why Kosair Charities makes it the sole mission to provide help and support to those families. Kamauri Wayne Dean Harris is a recipient of that support.
Sascha Texas
With the help of Kosair Charities, the family was able to get Sascha in front of good doctors who recommended the family to First Steps to get Sascha on the road to the therapy she needed.
Tanesse Simpson
Tanesse was born with a rare bone disorder. Since birth, she has required several surgeries, ongoing therapy and special equipment to help her lead a more normal life.

Elijah Lyons
“Emotionally, they were there for us,” said Amanda, Elijah’s mother. “They talked to us not just as people, but as friends.”
Kanyon Bell
“She’s a very determined little girl. She tells everyone she’s going to walk [without assistance] by age six,” said Kanyon’s Grandmother Brenda.
Ella Lincoln
“It was a phone call and a little paperwork, and they were prepared to give us all the help we needed. If it weren’t for them, we couldn’t have afforded the necessary visits to the specialist,” said Kevin Lincoln, Ella’s father.
