At Brave Like Me, we don’t believe in impossibilities. We believe in brave-possibilities. We possess big dreams, bold ideas and an unwavering drive to make them a reality for children with Complex Medical Conditions and their families. We might not always get it on the first try, but we’ll never stop figuring out how to make it happen. We bring our mission to life through our three main pillars of experiences: Brave Friends, Brave Pets and Brayden's Books.
Though Brayden Otten was born with a congenital heart disease that necessitated ongoing medical treatments throughout his life, he exuded bravery, hope and love. Inspired by Brayden’s courageous spirit, Brave Like Me creates moments of uninhibited joy for children with Complex Medical Conditions, chronic diseases and other medical disabilities. We are breaking down the barriers that often isolate these kids through meaningful and enriching experiences, from family adventures that instill bravery, to pet reunion programs that inspire hope.
In a world where all children, especially those facing Complex Medical Conditions, disabilities and chronic health conditions encounter profound challenges, everyday moments and activities can feel like monumental obstacles to conquer. These kids often miss out on "everyday" joys like sports teams, hanging out with friends, or even just time spent snuggling with their family pet. Our programs and services provide safe, supportive and accessible experiences for every child we serve.
