who we are
The Be the LIGHT Foundation was born out of a profound intersection of personal experience and professional expertise.
Founded by a mother and physician who navigated the complexities of the disability landscape long before building a platform to address them, the organization was established to ensure that no family should have to navigate the complexities of disability on their own.
MISSION

I walked this path as a mother long before I built it
as a physician — and I am committed to making sure
no parent ever has to walk it alone.
