Our Vision and Mission
Vision
A world where disability is not a barrier but a unique strength that drives innovation and community impact.
Mission
To unlock the potential of youth with disabilities by providing mentorship, skills, and opportunities, enabling them to lead purposeful lives and enrich society.
Who We Are
WeCareJourney’s foundational aim since 2016 was to create a world where the unique strengths inherent in disability are celebrated. However, in our early years, recognizing the significant and urgent unmet needs within the Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) community, WeCareJourney strategically narrowed its focus to this specific condition, a genetic neurodegenerative condition causing severe disabilities and premature death, demanded immediate attention.
During this initial period, we undertook crucial initiatives to address gaps in specialized lifesaving medical interventions for SMA. This commitment was further demonstrated through the “Impact of Living with SMA study”, which gives voice to SMA families and advocates for better care. This work then naturally evolved into SMA Diary, a valuable navigator tool providing guidance to those affected by SMA, and for medical professionals.
These dedicated SMA-centric projects laid the groundwork for SMAcare (www.SMAcare.org), a sustainable platform powered by WeCareJourney. While SMAcare operates under the WeCareJourney umbrella, it functions with its own distinct strategies and plans, allowing for a focused approach to serving the SMA community.
Over time, while SMA remains a vital focus, WeCareJourney continued to broaden its reach to encompass a wider range of disabilities. Some of our outreach and intervention programs supported families dealing with learning, behavioural, and physical disabilities, including conditions like Down syndrome, autism, cerebral palsy, and various rare and undiagnosed conditions.
Our overarching vision is a world where disability is not a barrier but a catalyst for innovation and community impact, and our mission is to unlock the potential of youth with disabilities through mentorship, skills, and opportunities. This journey reflects our ongoing commitment to empowering a diverse community of individuals with disabilities.
