Our Story
Rooted Community Care was born out of a journey of struggle, strength, and survival. Over the course of 14 months, its founder searched tirelessly for help—navigating medical appointments, waiting lists, courtrooms, and countless agencies. Promises of support were made but rarely fulfilled. Doors that should have been open stayed shut. Instead of receiving care, the path forward was filled with barriers and setbacks.
These systems, meant to provide safety and stability, too often set people up to fail. They are difficult to access, confusing to navigate, and narrowly focused—leaving many individuals and families unsupported.
For someone facing disability, injury, recovery, or mental health challenges, this can mean being left with nowhere to turn.
Rooted Connections was created as a response to that experience. It stands as a place of understanding, built on the belief that no one should be left to fight alone. We offer practical help, advocacy, and community connection—bridging the gap between people in need and the resources that exist but are often out of reach.
This nonprofit carries the resilience of its roots: rising from hardship to create something stronger, grounded, and supportive. It exists so that others facing overwhelming challenges can find not only resources, but also compassion, dignity, and a community that truly shows up.
