The Serenely Guided Foundation is a 501 (c)(3) organization dedicated to improving the lives of patients, families, caregivers and those affected by rare diseases. Our focus is providing easy access to resources in the areas of wellness, nutrition, and education. It's our mission to help guide the patient and caregiver journey with ease.

Our Support

Making a difference means creating a landscape of change in how we approach rare disease resources for patients and caregivers. It starts with an understanding of what the everyday looks like - from the onset of symptoms, to diagnosis, to treatment, and beyond. Creating a guide for resources in wellness, patient navigation, and education will reimagine and empower the future for the rare disease community.


Patient Resources

Providing financial support for patients and families who need assistance  through unique partnerships with local hospital partners. This support is customized based upon patient and family needs.

Youth Education

Our Storytime & Activity Program provides fundamentals in learning and awareness of physical challenges and disabilities and embraces empathy and understanding while providing resources in wellness.

Caregiver Wellness

Caregivers take on an imperative role for their loved ones with rare diseases. We believe in funding efforts to provide wellness resources that include, fitness, nutrition, meditation and self-care.

SGF X Boston Children's Hospital Blood Drive

Spend half a day exploring Cashew Ridge Park by foot. This trek is an excellent choice if you don’t have time for a full-day or overnight trip. The early morning tour starts early enough to enjoy the sounds of the forest waking up. The afternoon tour finishes at dusk, so you can enjoy the quiet calm of the nighttime forest. Bring your own food and water. As your tour guide, I’ll help you disconnect from your everyday world, so you can immerse yourself in nature and reconnect with yourself.

About Serenely Guided Foundation

Founder Story

The Serenely Guided Foundation was founded by Sarah Woods in 2023 after her and her son were diagnosed with Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT). During that time, Sarah noticed patients and caregivers often feel lost throughout the diagnostic journey in knowing what resources are available and how to access them in an easy way. By partnering with some of the world's most cherished brands and providing a direct line to nutrition, wellness, wearable devices, rare disease awareness, patient navigation, and education, Sarah became inspired to create a fresh new way of giving.
