Philanthropy - Costa Mesa, California, United States
Inspired by the tremendous support he has received on his journey with autism, and the realization that "we're all doing life with a little bit of help," Chase Bailey and his mother, Mary Bailey, established the Chase Yur Dreams Foundation (CYDF). CYDF is a non-profit organization committed to assisting those on the autism spectrum who dream of living as independently as possible. CYDF is doing this by raising funds to provide individuals with grants; and connecting them with resources and other organizations that offer the services and support necessary to help facilitate independent living, which includes education, advocacy, vocational training, job placement, social skills training, housing, assistive devices, medical care, and personalized therapies. CYDF seeks to empower those who are able, with the opportunity to more fully participate in community life, live with dignity, and realize their personal goals and dreams.
