Who Was Kount?
Kenny was someone who made you feel like you belonged, no matter where you came from. His friends knew him simply as "Kount" — a nickname that captured the way he carried himself: counted on, counted in, someone who counted for something.
He was an athlete who gave everything he had on the field and a poet who gave just as much on the page. He had a way with words and a way with people, always finding the thing that connected them. Family was the center of his life, and he poured that same devotion into the people around him — friends who became family, neighbors who became community.
Kenny was taken too soon, lost to homicide. He left behind a community that grieved deeply and loved him fiercely. His mother and family chose to carry his spirit forward in the most meaningful way they could: by reaching out to other families walking through the same kind of loss.
The Kount Cares Foundation exists because of who Kenny was. His care for others is now our mission.
"Kount" — a name his community gave him, and a spirit this foundation will keep alive.
Our Mission
No one should grieve alone.
The Kount Cares Foundation walks alongside families who have experienced loss, offering practical support, a caring community, and a compassionate presence during some of life's most difficult seasons. We are rooted in faith and guided by love, meeting people exactly where they are.
We exist for the mother who cannot sleep, the father searching for answers, the siblings carrying grief they do not have words for, and the friends who do not know how to help. We are here for all of them.
What We Do
How We Support Families
Our work is rooted in dignity and presence. We offer tangible help alongside emotional care, because families in grief need both.
Support Groups
Community-based groups where people who have experienced similar losses can gather, share, and support one another. You do not have to explain your pain here — those around you already understand it.
Scholarships
Educational scholarships for young people whose lives have been shaped by loss. We invest in futures, honoring the potential Kenny believed every young person carries.
Funeral Expense Assistance
Financial assistance to help families cover the costs of laying their loved ones to rest with dignity. No family should face burial logistics alone in the depths of grief.
Parents' Respite Care
Intentional rest and renewal for grieving parents. We support caregivers who are holding their families together while also carrying tremendous loss of their own.
Get Support
You do not have to do this alone.
