Meet Isaiah, the winner of OMK’s Courageous Kids of 2020 Contest in the U.S. Marine Corps (Severely Injured) category! Isaiah, 15, is the son of an U.S. Marine Corps Veteran who underwent treatment for severe combat-related injuries in 2020.

“Isaiah is an incredible young man,” said Jason, Isaiah’s teacher. “His mother was injured in Iraq and suffers from seizures. Isaiah wants to be a combat medic to help people like his mom that fight for our country. Our Military Kids helped him last summer with a cooking camp. He loves cooking for his little sister and mom to help her recover. This year, Our Military Kids helped him take karate, something he thought he would never be able to afford to do. He wants to start training and be there for his family. Not only that, Isaiah is only 15 and wants to start pitching in rent to help his mom. Such an incredible young man. I hope you choose him for the heart he has for others and this country.”
