01 — Why we began

“There are moments that divide your life into a before and an after.”

MRMaKaibree ReeseFounder & mother

While six months pregnant with her first daughter, Rewsey, MaKaibree was struck by a car in New York City. Rewsey was later born with an imperforate anus after an in utero stroke. Two years later, Goldy was born with bilateral microtia, aural atresia, and a congenital heart condition.

Through surgeries, specialists, hearing technology, early intervention, faith, and extraordinary community, both girls have grown beyond every limiting expectation. Their journeys also revealed how financially, emotionally, and logistically overwhelming complex care can become.

The Goldy Foundation exists so no family has to navigate that journey alone.

02 — Our north star

Care should be
within reach.

Our mission is to accelerate access to care, technology, research, support, and opportunity for children with congenital, genetic, rare, and medically complex conditions—while strengthening the families who care for them.

What we refuse to accept

  • 01A child's future determined by finances.
  • 02Parents navigating complex care alone.
  • 03Children defined by a diagnosis.
  • 04Life-changing technology out of reach.
