Our Story

The Sincerely Sarai Foundation was born from love, loss, and a mother’s unbreakable promise to turn pain into purpose.

In 2025, Meakeal Streeter founded the organization in memory of her daughter, Sarai—a bright, joyful soul who brought light into every room she entered. Sarai’s first year of life was filled with giggles, milestones, and cherished memories. But shortly after her first birthday, things began to change.

Sarai started showing signs of developmental regression. Her once-vibrant energy faded, and her abdomen became unusually large and firm. Meakeal knew something wasn’t right. She sought medical answers, but her early concerns were dismissed, leaving her feeling helpless and unheard. It wasn’t until a more attentive pediatrician took the time to truly listen that the pieces began to fall into place.

Tests revealed an enlarged liver and spleen, along with dangerously low blood counts. Sarai was hospitalized, and after 21 long, uncertain days of testing, the devastating diagnosis came: Type 2 Gaucher disease, a rare and aggressive genetic disorder. On September 21, 2016, Meakeal’s world was forever changed.

Though Sarai’s life was brief, her impact is immeasurable. Through the Sincerely Sarai Foundation, Meakeal honors her daughter’s memory by supporting families facing unimaginable heartbreak. The foundation offers financial assistance for funeral and burial costs, brings awareness to rare childhood diseases, and provides compassionate care to grieving parents navigating the hardest journey of their lives.

This is more than a foundation. It’s a legacy of love—Sarai’s legacy. And it’s Meakeal’s way of ensuring that no family has to walk through loss alone.

With every blanket, every gift, every gesture—this is for Sarai. Sincerely.
