Supporting families during difficult times
MaKenna Cares Foundation, a non-profit organization established in 2023 in memory of Makenna Williams, is dedicated to supporting families of severely ill children in the Central Texas Region. Our work is not just about providing assistance, but about fostering a sense of community and understanding among these families.
Families of severely ill children experience physical, mental, and financial obstacles every day. Through personal experience with our daughter Makenna Williams, born June 19, 2019, being a medical advocate and caregiver for our child was our #1 priority. From 100+ nights in NICU facilities in Temple, Austin, and Houston to commuting to some of the world’s best doctors, we witnessed the favor of various non-profit organizations. Small tokens such as gift cards, room and board for a night, or a hot meal gave us the hope to continue the journey.
Our goal is to raise consistent funds, contribute annually to the Ronald McDonald House, and extend a grain of hope to the next wave of families who will begin the long journey.
