Meet our Board

Founder and CEO Andreza Carléo brings more than 20 years of personal experience to the organization.

She is a mother of 3: Alex, Alexia, and Zaa. Alex, 20, is severely autistic, non-verbal, and blind. He was born a twin and stayed in the Texas Children’s Hospital for 6 months.

When his twin brother passed away at 7 months, Andreza found herself a grieving new mother and full-time nurse to her surviving son. She learned that keeping a job while caring for his evolving needs would be a perpetual challenge. Still, a trilingual business professional, she managed to attend college, work in management for a multi-unit franchise, and navigate the challenging system to help her son get the care he needs.

Today, her goal and mission are to help other families navigate similar challenges with the support they need
and deserve.
