In a heartfelt initiative stemming from personal tragedy, Kevin and Jessica Yokley from Lawrenceburg, Tennessee, have founded a non-profit organization, A Cora Christmas, to honor the memory of their late daughter, Cora. Since its inception, the organization has provided gifts, games, and joy to thousands of families, particularly during the holiday season, while also supporting their community throughout the year.
The Yokleys’ journey began with profound grief after the loss of their baby girl. Rather than letting this sorrow consume them, they channeled their emotions into actionable support for others facing similar hardships. Through A Cora Christmas, they have not only commemorated Cora’s life but have also made a significant impact on the lives of families in need.
The organization organizes events and donation drives that ensure children and families receive essential items and festive gifts. Their efforts have reached thousands, spreading hope and happiness during times that can otherwise be challenging for many. The Yokleys have committed to continually expanding their outreach, ensuring that their work extends beyond the holiday season.
In recognition of their inspiring work, the Yokleys have been named this week’s My Hero by a local news outlet. As part of the honor, Bart Durham Injury Law has pledged to donate $250 to their chosen charity, A Cora Christmas. This financial support will aid in furthering their mission and enhancing their community initiatives.
The Yokleys invite others to join them in their mission to bring joy and support to families in need. Interested individuals can learn more about their organization or contribute by contacting them directly.
