Who We Are

The Christopher Smith Foundation was born out of one family’s desire to express profound gratitude to the caregiving community. Christopher Smith’s life was a testament to perseverance, inclusion, and the power of support. The foundation’s programs and resources shine a light on the everyday heroes; parents, siblings, direct care staff, and medical professionals, serving with love and unwavering dedication.
