CALI'S STORY

Cali’s Courage Foundation was born from one little girl who changed our entire world.

When Cali was diagnosed with Williams syndrome, our family was suddenly navigating a future we had never imagined. We felt the fear and uncertainty of a rare diagnosis as we searched for answers, specialists, therapies, and families who truly understood. Through it all, Cali met every challenge with extraordinary courage, an open heart, and a joy that reminded us how much hope was still ahead.

Her journey also opened our eyes to the very real challenges families face, from traveling for specialized medical care and accessing critical therapies to finding reliable information, meaningful programs, and a supportive community. We created Cali’s Courage to help meet those needs through family medical and travel grants, Williams syndrome research, therapy and development support, and family education and Williams syndrome-specific programs.

The Cali's Courage Foundation is our way of turning the love we have for Cali into action. Guided by her strength and infectious joy, we are working toward a future where every child with Williams syndrome has the opportunity to thrive and every family feels informed, supported, and never alone.
