Kristian was born and raised in Washington Mo, where he played offensive line on the football team at St. Francis Borgia Regional High School. He is the oldest of 5 kids who were adopted as a sibling unit from foster care. In July of 2020 between his junior and senior year Kristian was in a car accident, leaving him with a severe Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), his right arm amputated just below the elbow and confined to a wheelchair due to paralyzation on his right side. Missouri KIDS have helped provide a wheelchair accessible van, (that is able to hold his entire family) making it possible to get him to and from his continued therapies as he fights to regain his ability to walk and talk, as well as go places together as a family again!

Thank You For Your Donation

“Being a recipient of Missouri KIDS is a blessing from GOD, at the just right time. It is an amazing gift that blows me away. The van will help our family in so many ways. Thank you doesn’t seem to say enough.” -Kristian
