Austin's Warriors Corporation, a nonprofit based in Dallas, was founded in memory of our son, Austin Lewis, who bravely fought Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. Throughout his 18 years, we experienced the challenges of navigating pediatric critical care and saw firsthand the emotional, physical, and social toll it took on families. Our journey revealed a significant gap in support for parents of critically ill children, and from this lived experience, we decided to create Austin's Warrior Corporation to ensure that other families don’t face these struggles alone.
