The Kukes Family

After the tragic loss of their son Andy, Jeffrey Kukes and Patricia Kukes founded the Andrew Kukes Foundation for Social Anxiety (AKFSA). The Kukes family created AKFSA to raise awareness, offer education for professionals and provide support for sufferers, family and friends so that no other family would have to experience the terrible pain of losing a child to social anxiety. Jeffrey and Patricia are activists and ambassadors — shedding light on the severity of social anxiety and working to provide avenues for help and educational resources. Through AKFSA, the Kukes family has begun to create a much needed community for those affected by social anxiety.
