Hope For Three proudly presents our September Autism All-Star, Kendon Thibodeaux!

Diagnosed at the age of five, Kendon views autism as his superpower, which he harnesses to effect change in the world, one community at a time. Family, friends, and community are extremely important to Kendon. He and his mother sincerely thank Hope For Three for enabling him to attend Launch Academy. This opportunity became pivotal in helping Kendon discover his identity and place in the world. It was through FLCRC’s youth group that Kendon’s entrepreneurial spirit flourished.

As a young entrepreneur with a philanthropic heart, Kendon directs the proceeds from his various business ventures to support positive changes in his community. For instance, earnings from his charitable lemonade stand, Mr. Thirsty’s, assisted a young girl battling cancer. His anime-inspired hoodie and shirt business, Kstylez, also promotes inclusion and acceptance.

Kendon is sincerely thankful to organizations like Hope For Three for their significant impact on his life. Inspired by their guidance, Kendon aspires to be a beacon of change for others. He and his mother are truly honored to receive recognition from Hope For Three and extend their heartfelt thanks for inspiring Kendon to be his true self.
