Out of Zion is a free creative arts program for children with medical and special needs. Kosj and Jaymi created this program in honor of their precious son Zion, who fought an aggressive brain tumor for one year before crossing over to be with his Creator. Zion loved music and creative arts! From a young age he was singing along, dancing and exploring any instrument he could get his hands on. Creative arts have a unique way of reaching people’s hearts to bring them hope, joy and even peace. Out of Zion was born out of a calling on their family to extend the love, joy and faith that their son embodied. Kosj and Jaymi know first hand what it is like to have a child facing a difficult diagnosis and medical treatment. Their desire is to create a joyful and supportive environment for children and their families who are fighting similar battles while carrying on Zion’s legacy. Through Out of Zion, he continues to inspire and bring hope to children, parents and entire families who need it the most.
2018, September 19 — Kosj and Jaymi shared Zion’s journey on Fox 13, along with the Children’s Cancer Center. It meant the world to us to be able to do this in September for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. It was a moment we will never forget! Thank you Children’s Cancer Center for providing us with this opportunity. Our hearts are united in this mission!
