Who We Are

Rylee’s Light Foundation was created in memory of Rylee Mae — a daughter, a best friend, and a bright light in a dark world. Her kindness came from a pure heart and an ability to accept others exactly as they were. She passed away at just twenty years old, and not a second has gone by that she hasn’t been thought of or missed.

Love you, Cakes!

This foundation isn't about saving anyone. It's about showing up — with warmth, respect, and a little light in a world that can be cold.

Life is hard, and for young adults facing foster care, homelessness, or other serious hardships, the challenges can feel overwhelming. In a world filled with uncertainty, financial strain, and too many obstacles for young people to face alone, even a small act of kindness can make a difference.

Through community partnerships and acts of generosity, we strive to bring comfort, hope, and the reminder that they matter, they are valued, and they are not forgotten.

Sometimes, a little light can make a world of difference.
