Critically Loved was founded by our Executive Director, TyiaLynn, whose 24-year-old daughter was diagnosed with life threatening internal bleeding at age 5. It took her years to learn how manage her daughter’s healthcare. Not wanting other parents to struggle like she did, in 2015, TyiaLynn started Critically Loved to help families navigate a difficult road. Critically Loved supports families:

PRACTICALLY: with issues relating to school, insurance, and medical bills
EMOTIONALLY: by meeting one on one with parents, with professional counseling, and by providing events where families can connect with one another
SPIRITUALLY: in group settings in churches around the community
Critically Loved also focuses on child abuse prevention and Inclusion Education where typical children learn to appreciate differences in their peers with unique abilities.
