Raising Kellan - Empowering, connecting, and educating parents raising children with a disability. For Parents. By Parents.

Raising Kellan Started in 2019. Most non-profits about children with a disability begin with a heart-rending story and the endless search on how to fix the disability. 

The start of Raising Kellan wasn’t about that. You see, in June 2019, while visiting family in South Africa, Marsh Naidoo was asked to give a speech to health professionals at the Open Air School in Durban, and the feedback she received was unexpected. Sure, people were engaged. But, could she share her perspective as a physical therapist and mother of a child with cerebral palsy with other parents raising children with complex medical needs, as well? 

Marsh was reluctant at the thought of sharing her experience, but she did. 

She returned home and this burning thought became the blog and podcast that formed the bedrock of the non-profit organization, Raising Kellan. Since 2020, Raising Kellan has supported parents in the US, South Africa, and Europe on their journey, negotiating the uncharted territory of raising children with a disability.

Are you a parent bewildered by your child’s disability?  

We are a community connected by a diagnosis, yet positively embracing our lives, and we want you to know, you’re not alone.

Raising Kellan was created by parents like you for parents like you.
