CLEMMONS — It was all to benefit a nonprofit organization called Help Hope Live.
KJ Henry, the son of Help Hope Live client Keith Henry, returned to Clemmons, to host a celebrity basketball game and youth football camp last month.
Entering his second year in the NFL with the Washington Commanders, KJ has been pledging his time, talent, and voice to supporting Help Hope Live following the mission’s impact on his own family.
“Honestly, there were just so many that gave back to me when I was growing up,” Henry said. “I want to give that feeling to some kids around here.”
We were grateful and excited for a chance to be a part of KJ’s efforts: our Executive Director Kelly L. Green and Director of Outreach Sonny Mullen spread the word about Help Hope Live as part of KJ’s community initiatives.
Help Hope Live’s mission is to support community-based fundraising for people with unmet medical expenses and related costs due to cell and organ transplants or catastrophic injuries and illnesses.
Members of Help Hope Live don’t believe that a medical crisis should become a financial crisis. Even with health insurance, a medical crisis can create a significant financial burden most families cannot meet alone.
