Our History

The Phoenix Foundation’s basis started after Austin’s 2022 burn injury. With burns on 45% of his body, he spent 46 days in at KU Medical Center & Rehab. After coming home, he’d spend the next 10 months in PT, OT and maintenance surgeries.

He was able to make a full recovery. Because of the generosity, love and prayers of amazing friends, family and an incredibly generous community, he was able to spend those 10 months focusing on regaining strength and healing.

After experiencing the impact of such generosity,

Austin’s family, along with his friends, knew they wanted to continue to be able to provide this same type of support to those in our community who may experience something similar.

And so, the Phoenix Foundation was born.
