Thanks to YOU… MIRACLES DO HAPPEN!
Because of you and your generosity, KJ Yates had a new Home!
Through your kindness, your donations enabled the Courageous Faces Foundation to rent a 3-bedroom, clean, healthy home and completely furnish it with brand new items for KJ & his family.
December 2, 2017, KJ was admitted to Sparks Hospital in Fort Smith Arkansas with pneumonia and severe breathing issues. During those two months in ICU the doctors were not sure KJ would survive so the decision to put in a tracheostomy was made. Miraculously, KJ being the fighter he is, not only survived but started to get a bit stronger.
Everyone was elated when on February 5, 2018, KJ was finally able to go home. However, not to his unhealthy & dilapidated home in Bokoshe, Oklahoma, but to a clean, desirable home, close to the hospital and far from the toxic air of Bokoshe.

KJ was elated when he arrived by ambulance and saw his new home. He loved his bedroom which had a new medical bed & mattress, along with a soft recliner, a 50-inch flat screen TV that he could see with his limited vision, places to put all his medical equipment & supplies he would need and many other things to give him an excellent quality of life.
