Welcome to the Missouri KIDS Blog!

Welcome to the Missouri KIDS Blog!

We’re excited to welcome you to the official blog for Missouri KIDS recipients!

This space was created with you in mind—a place where we can connect, share stories, offer support, and learn from one another. Whether you're a longtime recipient or just recently joined the Missouri KIDS family, this blog is here to help build a stronger, more connected community.

Why This Blog Exists

Missouri KIDS (Missourians Who Kare for Injured and Disabled Students) was founded on the belief that every athlete who has suffered a permanent injury deserves resources and support needed to live a fulfilling life. Over the years, we've been inspired by the resilience, achievements, and spirit of the young people and families we serve.

This blog is a new way to celebrate that journey. It’s a platform to:

  • Connect with other Missouri KIDS recipients and families across the state

  • Comment on shared experiences, challenges, and triumphs

  • Learn about opportunities, upcoming events, and valuable resources

  • Inspire others by sharing your own story or spotlighting someone else's

What You Can Expect

You’ll find posts about:

  • Personal stories from recipients and families

  • Tips for navigating sports, accessibility, and health challenges

  • Guest posts from coaches, professionals, and community members

  • News and updates from the Missouri KIDS program
