supports those navigating a
rare disease diagnosis.
A rare disease diagnosis can be an overwhelming journey, filled with uncertainty, medical appointments and financial strain. For many families, the added challenge of accessing proper nutrition is an even more overwhelming barrier that can affect health outcomes. That’s why organizations like Serenely Guided Foundation, founded by Sarah Woods, are using quality nutrition to make a difference.

Founder Story & Why SGF Care Boxes are needed more than ever.
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 that rare 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 self-care and wellness items, along with home-delivered meal cards, Sarah became inspired to create a fresh new way of giving. The SGF Experience combines partnering with corporations who want to elevate their workforce engagement, along with sending SGF Care Boxes to patients and caregivers, nationwide, so that they can feel recognized and loved for their unique spirit and strength during challenging times of diagnosis and treatment.
