Welcome To Kotera's Closet

Kotera's Closet Foundation carries forward Kotera's joyful spirit by restoring dignity for families across Grandview and the Kansas City metro. We provide clothing, school supplies, scholarships, and advocacy, especially for individuals with Down syndrome and other developmental disabilities. Every shared story, every warm coat, every backpack reminds our neighbors that they are seen, valued, and never alone.

Discover Kotera's Legacy

Before there was a foundation, there was Kotera, a young woman whose Down syndrome never defined her joy, kindness, or courage. Her life taught us that every person deserves to be celebrated. Learn how her legacy shaped clothing drives, scholarships, and advocacy that now uplift families across Grandview and the Kansas City metro with dignity and hope.
