Who We Are

What Led Us To Found Care Chairz?

We are Emma, Sophia, Asher, and Dylan. Our mom has an invisible disability called psoriatic arthritis/enthesitis and we have witnessed firsthand the poor treatment of those with invisible disabilities. Most people do not understand these types of disabilities and thus are often confused and react in a less-than-optimal manner. For the one suffering from the disability, it is often fear-inducing just to enter a place and see a long line with no option to sit. We have experienced this and thought “Why aren’t there any chairs here? Why aren’t there chairs everywhere?” We want to make sure there are chairs wherever people need them. So, we started Care Chairz. We hope that, with your help, Care Chairz will help make this happen. 

Hi, I am Emma. I am the oldest of four children in my family. I started Care Chairz with my family because I wanted to bring awareness to invisible illnesses and help provide chairs and wheelchairs to places that lack them.

Hi, I am Sophia. My goal is to bring awareness to the uncomfortable situations that a lack of understanding of invisible disabilities can cause people that have them. I wanted to start Care Chairz to help others who go through similar daily challenges and try to make their lives a little easier.

 Hello, my name is Dylan. Care Chairz is important to me because there have been multiple times in my life when someone close to me has experienced instances where they have had to stand in lines which caused them to feel stress about how much pain the standing would result in. My siblings and I are hoping that Care Chairz can provide chairs and wheelchairs in locations that have lines or lack places to sit.

Hi, I’m Asher, the youngest. Care Chairz is important to me because people I know have invisible disabilities and they can’t walk for a long time or may not be able to walk at all. One example I can remember is when I was with someone who cannot walk for a long time, and we entered a grocery store. I know she had to worry about how far she would have to walk before being able to sit or how long the line would be. Care Chairz will help by putting benches, chairs, and wheelchairs in places where people have to stand in line or in places where there is no place to sit.
