What we Do.
“Help spread awareness of neurological disorders in children while providing assistance to families who have been impacted.”
“The Brady Wynn Foundation has been fantastic. So much support for us, Mom and Dad. Everyone is concerned and surrounding Joelle (as expected) while we are doing our best. We still have jobs to maintain, our relationship, managing a household, pets to take care of all while keeping our mental health in check as well as handling insurance and the unending medical bills. We are glad that we can put a few worries aside as we know that Brady Wynn has our back.“- Joelle’s parents

Foundation Objectives
-
To spread awareness about neurological disorders in children by participating and hosting events that bring people together and allow them to donate to the foundation. These events would educate supporters about Brady’s story, gain compassion for individuals living with neurological disorders and how we can help other families who have been impacted due to their child being born with a neurological disorder. Events may also highlight organizations that are leading in research for medical advancements surrounding infant neurological disorders. Money will be raised through multiple platforms and fundraising events.
-
Our foundation helps parents transition from parent to “super” parent/care giver. After you receive a life altering diagnosis or your child suffers a catastrophic accident, putting life back in order can be nearly impossible. We provide families with groceries, to-go meals, a monthly cleaning service, grocery delivery service and self-care so families can focus on what is truly important- their baby. We have an online group only for families who are or who have gone through our program so parents know they are not alone.
We focus on families that have children 2 years old and younger that have suffered an injury that affects the nerves found throughout the body, such as, structural, biochemical or electrical abnormalities in the brain or spinal cord. We are able to help provide support to families whose infant has suffered birth asphyxia, hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), intracranial hemorrhage, stroke, neural tube defects, brain malformations, cerebrovascular malformations, infections of the nervous system, hydrocephalus or neurologic impairment that requires newborns to be ventilator-dependent or a young child who has suffered an accident causing life-threatening neurological complications.
Our foundation supports families with living babies. If an child sadly passes away after the family has started our program, we will fulfill our services and connect them with additional support from other organizations.
