A letter from our founder

I wanted to take a moment to share with you the heartfelt reasons behind the creation of Konnections by Kenzo. This nonprofit organization was born from a deeply personal experience that touched my life profoundly. Growing up, I witnessed the devastating effects of domestic violence on someone very close, which ignited a passion within me to create change.

At Konnections by Kenzo, our mission is simple yet impactful: we aim to provide essential goodie bags filled with necessities for children and women in homeless shelters and domestic violence facilities. These bags are not just items; they represent hope, dignity, and support for those who have experienced hardship. Starting this nonprofit has been a journey of resilience, fueled by the belief that everyone deserves compassion and a helping hand during their most challenging times.

With the unwavering support of our dedicated Board of Directors, Youth Committee and generous donors, we will be able to expand our reach and impact more lives than ever before. Our goal is to create a community where those impacted feel supported and heard—where they can begin to heal, rebuild, and thrive in a safe environment.

I am reaching out to you because I wholeheartedly believe that together, we can make a significant difference. Your support, whether through donations or simply sharing our mission with your network, can help us reach more individuals in need and create a brighter future for those affected by domestic violence and homelessness.

Thank you for taking the time to read this message. I am genuinely grateful for your consideration and hope that you will join us in our mission to uplift and empower those impacted by domestic violence and unhousedness on their journey to healing.

With heartfelt gratitude,

– Kenzo Harris
