About OUR FAMILY

Our Story

We are parents of a daughter with special needs. For years, we’ve walked through IEP meetings, therapies, and long waiting lists for state services. It took us more than ten years to finally get into a waiver program, and along the way we learned just how difficult, confusing, and exhausting the process can be.

We are also caregivers in other ways:

• Supporting a spouse through terminal illness. 
• Caring for an elderly parent. 
• Walking alongside a young adult with mental illness.
   

Each of these roles has taught us something different about the complexity of caregiving. The systems are different — medical, educational, legal, financial — but the struggles feel strikingly similar: fatigue, isolation, endless paperwork, and the constant question of “What do I do next?”

We’ll be the first to admit: we’ve made mistakes. Sometimes we didn’t know what questions to ask. Other times, we found ourselves stuck between conflicting advice from professionals, agencies, and well-meaning friends. We’ve been overwhelmed, we’ve felt alone, and we’ve wished there was a place where all the pieces came together.

Over time, though, we grew as parents, partners, and advocates. We found resources, connected with other families, and slowly pieced together solutions. And one thing became clear: no one should have to figure this out by themselves.

WeCareTX was born out of those struggles — and out of the belief that caregiving should never feel like navigating a maze alone.

This isn’t about us having all the answers. We don’t. What we do have is lived experience, perspective, and a commitment to building something useful, practical, and community-driven.

WeCareTX is designed to:

• Share what we wish we had known sooner.
   
• Point families to trusted resources.
   
• Build a community where caregivers feel supported, not isolated.
   

We’re starting with the special needs community here in Central Texas, because that’s where our own journey began. But our vision is larger: to create a hub that supports caregivers in every season — from raising a child with a disability, to managing chronic illness, to caring for aging parents.

WeCareTX isn’t just our story. It’s a place for your story too. We believe that when caregivers come together, we can lighten each other’s load, share hard-earned wisdom, and find hope in knowing we’re not alone.

We’re building this one step at a time, and we’d love for you to join us. Sign up for early access, share your ideas, and let’s create something meaningful together.

Because caregiving is hard. But together, we can make it a little easier.
