Kee’s Kloset was created in memory of Keeonal Dawkins, someone who meant a lot to us. Keeonal grew up in foster care and was placed in many different homes throughout his life. He faced numerous challenges, but one thing that never changed was his love for nice clothes. That was just his thing. The way he dressed was how he showed up for himself, and it always reflected his spirit. After we lost him, we knew we had to do something to keep his memory alive, and Kee’s Kloset became our way of empowering foster youth.
My sister, Ragon Francy, was the driving force behind this initiative. She built Kee’s Kloset under Tulsa Lawyers for Children and worked tirelessly to connect with foster families, caseworkers, and donors who believed in our mission. The whole idea was simple: kids in foster care shouldn’t have to go without nice clothes. They deserve access to free clothing for foster teens, allowing them to feel good about how they look, just like any other kid.
Now it's my turn to take it over. I’m Greyson Francy, and I’m transforming Kee’s Kloset into its own standalone nonprofit. We’re establishing a full Board of Directors and a Junior Board to bring more people into this mission and ensure we’re set up to grow the right way. My goal is to reach more kids, make a bigger impact in Tulsa, and ensure everything we do honors Keeonal’s name while providing vital support for foster care.
