Keenan’s Story
Keenan Arness Freeman
August 5, 2005 – March 6, 2018
Keenan and his family are a part of the Hands of Hope Family. Keenan suffered from a debilitating illness that led to him losing his ability to walk and participate in all the fun activities that he once loved. Keenan loved to dance, laugh, and dress up in costumes. Students and teacher both loved and adored his strength. Keenan was a 6th grade student at Carver Middle School and participated in numerous camps and organizations such as the Special Olympics, Hands of Hope, ESP Summer Camp and the Stone Soup Camps. Keenan Freeman and many others in the community have been the inspiration and the motivation behind bringing an inclusive park to this area. Keenan was a sweet young man who passed away at the young age of 12 before we completed our project. We are heartbroken that he will not get to see our completed inclusive park, but we continue moving forward because of him.
