Help Build a Future for Developmentally Challenged Adults

From Ny'Kole Krivda

I’m fundraising to build Auesome Care, a safe and empowering community for adults with developmental disabilities who deserve dignity, independence, and a place to truly thrive.

My name is Ny’Kole Krivda, and I am the proud Founder and CEO of Auesome Care, LLC, a residential and vocational community created to serve one of society’s most overlooked and underserved populations: adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities.

This mission is not just professional for me; it’s deeply personal.

I have a sibling who is developmentally challenged. Due to adoption, we were separated for many years. When we finally reconnected, I learned of the many challenges he faced navigating life with minimal support, lacking basic life skills, and without a sustainable plan for independence. What troubled me most was the thought of what would happen if his caregivers were no longer there. And then I asked myself: How many others like my brother are out there unseen, unsupported, and unprepared for the future?

What I found was staggering.

In Florida alone, there are more than 22,000 individuals with developmental disabilities currently in need of support. Across the United States:

• 1 in 6 children have a developmental disability.

• 1 in 31 children have been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder.

• Between 2019 and 2021, the rate of diagnosed developmental disabilities in children aged 3–17 rose from 7.4% to 8.56%.

• Adults with disabilities face significantly higher housing cost burdens than those without disabilities.

• Life expectancy for individuals with developmental disabilities has increased to nearly 70 years, a dramatic rise from just 22 years in 1931, yet our systems and support structures haven’t kept up with this progress.

These are not just statistics; they are stories of forgotten citizens. Not because their families don’t care, but because the systems meant to support them haven’t evolved. They are often hidden in plain sight, with no plan, no resources, and no roadmap for a dignified life.

Auesome Care was born out of this reality and out of profound love for my brother and the thousands like him who deserve more. More opportunities. More support. More dignity. More community.

Our vision is to create a safe, structured, and empowering residential community made up of small homes, therapeutic care, vocational training, and skill-building resources. A place where developmentally challenged adults are not just housed, they are seen, nurtured, and given the tools to live independently and with purpose.

To bring this vision to life, I am seeking funding and strategic partnerships to support the initial phase of this life-changing project. These funds will help with land acquisition, zoning, licensing, staffing, and construction of our first pilot homes.

With over 20 years of experience in HR, business strategy, and organizational leadership, I bring the skills and operational know-how to lead this initiative, but more importantly, I bring heart, vision, and purpose. Auesome Care is not just a facility; it’s a movement. A call to action to ensure that no individual is left behind because of their differences.

Together, we can create something extraordinary. Together, we can ensure that individuals like my brother and the tens of thousands like him are no longer forgotten, but embraced, supported, and set up to thrive.
