Because every child matters.
Who we are

Rooted in love.
Built for impact.

The Carlos Beriguette Foundation for Learning was established in July 2025 in loving memory of Carlos Beriguette. His legacy inspires a simple belief: families affected by epilepsy and other neurological disorders should never have to navigate educational and everyday challenges alone.

Serving families across the United States, we help children and caregivers navigate educational needs, access essential-resource referrals, and find community advocacy. Our direct assistance and referrals depend on available programs, eligibility, location, and capacity.

  • Family-centered, dignity-first assistance
  • Advocacy for children with diverse learning and health needs
  • Practical support through local partnerships

Community in action

More than a backpack.
More than a moment.

Our 2nd Annual Back-to-School Fest, held in Cleveland on August 8, 2026, brought more than 450 community members together for school supplies, food, activities, and connections to local resources.

With 300 backpacks distributed, the event demonstrated what is possible when a community invests in its children. It's the spirit behind every initiative we build.

In 2025 we distributed 100 backpacks. In 2026, we distributed 300.

We're here to listen

Getting started is simple.

Families across the United States can reach out about education, housing, or food resources. Our intake form helps us understand your needs and explore assistance or referrals where available.

Tell us about your need

Complete a short, private support inquiry with your preferred contact information and type of assistance.

02

Our team reviews your inquiry

We review inquiries from across the United States as capacity allows. Available assistance and referrals vary by location and program.

03

We'll follow up when possible

If our team can assist, we'll contact you about potential next steps. Submitting a request does not guarantee aid.

You're in the
right place.

We understand that asking for help can feel difficult. Tell us a little about what you need, and our team can review possible ways to connect you with support or resources.

Our form is not monitored 24/7. If anyone is in immediate danger, call 911. For a mental health or suicide crisis in the U.S., call or text 988. For local community-service referrals, dial 211 where available.
