Our Story
The story of the Caislee Rylin Foundation began with one of the most profound and life-altering experiences our family ever faced—the stillbirth of our beautiful daughter, Caislee Rylin. In a moment meant to be filled with joy, we were met with an overwhelming wave of grief and silence. Holding her, we experienced both an infinite love for her and the heartbreak of knowing she would never take her first breath in this world. Her absence was felt in every corner of our lives, and we quickly learned that navigating life after loss is a path filled with loneliness, unanswered questions, and unimaginable pain.
In the days following her passing, we sought ways to honor Caislee’s memory and create a space for her in our family’s story. We leaned on each other and those who had walked this journey before us. But we also realized how many families grieve in silence, without access to support systems, financial assistance, or the resources to begin healing. Through our pain, a purpose began to emerge—to ensure that no family has to walk this path alone.
The Caislee Rylin Foundation was born out of this desire to turn our sorrow into something meaningful. We strive to be a beacon of hope for grieving families, offering emotional support, advocacy, financial aid, and spaces for connection. Whether it’s through remembrance events, support groups, or providing tangible resources to help families rebuild, our mission is to honor the lives of babies like Caislee by uplifting the families who carry their memory forward.
Caislee’s story is at the heart of everything we do. Though her time here was brief, her impact continues to ripple outward, inspiring us to bring light to families experiencing their darkest days. This foundation is her legacy, a way for us to hold onto her, celebrate her, and let her inspire healing in others. It’s a reminder that even in the face of profound loss, love can create something enduring, beautiful, and transformative.
