our STORY

MEET ALYECE SMITH | FOUNDER

When Caiden was diagnosed with Autism, our family entered a world of appointments, waitlists, and endless paperwork—often without clear direction.

​

And that’s when we realized:
We weren’t the only ones navigating it alone.

​

We built Caiden’s Corner for the families still living what we lived.

​

We believe:

šŸ’› No one should have to walk this path alone
šŸ’™ Support should be accessible—not overwhelming
🧩 Every child deserves a community that sees them fully

​

This isn’t just a nonprofit.
It’s a village. A mission. A promise.

Our not-so-secret Superpowers

At Caiden’s Corner, we don’t wait for someone else to solve the problem. We roll up our sleeves and get it done.

From family support to therapy funding, we’re here to make life lighter and more possible for Autism families across the Gulf Coast.
