Inspired by my mother’s strength, we serve Alabama’s disability community with dignity and care.
Your support helps us expand disability awareness across Alabama
We are closing a critical gap in Alabama by building a disability‑led foundation rooted in advocacy, awareness, and understanding. Too many disabled Alabamians feel unseen or unheard — we are here to change that. Our work amplifies disabled voices, challenges misconceptions, and helps build communities where every person is respected, valued, and included.
The Corina Mae Foundation exists to foster belonging and dignity for disabled individuals throughout Alabama. We believe meaningful change begins with listening, and that every story shared brings us closer to a future shaped by compassion and equality. Your journey with us begins here.
Our mission is to increase public understanding of disabilities, promote acceptance, and uplift disabled voices through awareness, advocacy, and community support. We strive to bridge the gap in disability awareness so every individual feels seen and valued. Together, we’re creating an Alabama where understanding replaces stigma.
We envision an Alabama where disabled individuals are fully understood, respected, and included — a state where awareness replaces stigma and every person feels valued. This vision guides our advocacy, education, and community work. We believe in a future where disability is recognized as part of human diversity, and everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
The Corina Mae Foundation reaches disabled individuals, families, caregivers, state leaders, and the public. Our message of inclusion and respect resonates across Alabama, fostering a culture of support and understanding. Your involvement helps build a more inclusive state where compassion leads the way and communities grow stronger when every person feels seen, valued, and empowered.

Twenty‑seven years ago today, a woman who had already buried three children, a woman who had been told she would never carry a baby to term, a woman whose heart had been shattered more times than anyone should endure… went into labor with me.

As we close out May and step into June, I want to share the goals we’ve set for the month ahead. June is a meaningful month for me personally — it marks 5 years and 6 months since my mother’s passing, falling the day before my birthday. Her strength and love continue to guide every step we take as a foundation.
Across Alabama, many organizations work hard to support people with disabilities — from legal advocacy to housing assistance and vocational training. These services are essential. But there’s a missing piece that often goes unaddressed:
At The Corina Mae Foundation, our work is shaped by one guiding belief: we cannot create meaningful change in Alabama without understanding the real experiences of disabled individuals and families across our state. Today, we’re launching a new tool to help us do exactly that — the Share My Voice community insight form.
Memorial Day is a day of quiet reflection — a day when our country pauses to honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service. Their courage is woven into the freedoms we live with every day, and their sacrifice is felt in the hearts of the families who loved them, raised them, and now carry their memory forward.
