The Kailee Mills Foundation informs the public on the importance of seat belt use while encouraging and inspiring communities to protect themselves and their passengers by always wearing their seat belts.

Kailee's Donation

Have you ever had an epiphany? That moment when you sat back and thought, this is what I'm supposed to be doing. David Mills, president and co-founder of Kailee Mills Foundation, and Kailee's father, shares with us that moment when he knew this was the path he was supposed to be on. That through her death, Kailee was still there with him guiding him with her selfless pure heart.

Check out the video below to hear what Kailee did for her foundation.

PRESS CONFERENCE

The press conference will be Monday, July 30th at 10:30 am. This will be a huge announcement you do not want to miss. Mark your calendars! Set an alert on Siri or Alexa to remind you! As it is too far out from this newsletter edition, there is no way to know which media outlets will choose to cover this. We will have live updates on our social media platforms (scroll to bottom for links to each).

Keep an eye out for our next newsletter! It will include the media coverage from this event in case you missed it! We want to send our appreciation out to Harris County Sheriff's Office and Sheriff Ed Gonzalez for making this happen!

For those of you who do not know anything about Harris County, it is located in Houston, Texas. It is currently the most populous county in the state of Texas and the third most populous in the United States. The two most populous counties and largest sheriff's offices in the United States are Los Angeles County in California and Cook County in Illinois.

John Moore was sworn in as the first sheriff of what was then called Harrisburg County (later renamed Harris County) in February 1837. Among the oldest law enforcement agencies in Texas, the department has grown from a single man on horseback to a modern agency with 4600 employees and 200 reservists dedicated to ensuring the safety of over 4.1 million residents.

Kailee's Angels

Kailee's Angel, Isaac "Big Ice" "Iceman" Antonio Martinez was known as the boxer with a heart of gold among his peers. His love of boxing and competing, since age eight, led him to participate in the 2017 USA Boxing Junior Olympics, Prep Nationals, and Youth Open. He was a future Olympic prospect at the age of 18 when his life was cut short. Isaac worked as a personal trainer and instructor in The Woodlands, Texas at Title Boxing teaching his passion to others. His family describes him as "a funny, humble, intellectual and kind young man who not only loved boxing but the family he had as well". This year, on Mother's Day, Isaac was broadsided by an 18-wheeler and suffered a fractured skull and a traumatic brain injury. He was not wearing his seat belt. Staying true to his life's passion, Isaac fought for his life. Three days later, on May 16, 2018, he was surrounded by his family as they held his hand and said their final goodbyes. Not only will his memory live on, but the legacy he left lives on through others. Isaac was an organ donor and was able to save several lives. We use his story to continue to save countless lives.
