On December 4, 2022, our daughter Caislee Rylin was born sleeping. In a moment, the future we imagined changed forever. In a moment meant to be filled with joy, we were met with grief and silence. We held her, feeling an infinite love for our daughter alongside the heartbreak of knowing she would never take her first breath in this world.

In the days that followed, we began learning what it means to carry deep grief while continuing to love, parent, and live in a world that keeps moving. We discovered how lonely life after loss can feel, with unanswered questions, unimaginable pain, and a longing that changes the shape of every day. As we searched for ways to honor Caislee and make space for her in our family's story, we leaned on one another and on those who understood this kind of heartbreak. We also became more aware of how many families face the loss of a baby without the support, resources, or acknowledgment they need.

The Caislee Rylin Foundation was born from our love for Caislee and the hope that another family might feel a little less alone in their own heartbreak. Through heartfelt comfort and compassionate resources, we want grieving families to know that their baby matters, their grief deserves care, and they do not have to walk this road alone.

Caislee's story is at the heart of everything we do. Though her time here was brief, her impact continues through every act of care shared in her memory. Her life matters. Her name will be spoken. And the love we have for her will always be part of our family's story. This foundation is one way we honor her, celebrate her, and carry her legacy forward, one family at a time.
