Our history

Welcome to Riley's Journey, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to supporting families with special needs children and helping our homeless neighbors. Our story began in 2019, inspired by the birth of my beloved niece, Riley, who was born with severe cerebral palsy (CP) and hydrocephalus. Her strength and resilience became the driving force behind our mission. At Riley's Journey, we understand the unique challenges and joys of raising a child with special needs. We also understand the struggle many people face today due to a lack of resources. Our goal is to provide comprehensive support to families and individuals, helping them navigate the complexities of medical care, therapy, and everyday living. We believe every person deserves the best possible life, and we are here to ensure that families and individuals have the resources and support they need to make that happen.
