Meakeal Streeter — Founder & Forever Sarai’s Mom

Sincerely Sarai Foundation was created by Meakeal Streeter to honor her daughter, Sarai—a joyful soul whose life was cut short by Type 2 Gaucher Disease, a rare genetic disorder. Around Sarai’s first birthday, Meakeal noticed subtle but alarming changes and, trusting her instincts, sought answers that led to Sarai’s diagnosis. Though Sarai’s journey ended too soon, her spirit inspires the foundation’s mission: to support grieving families, raise awareness for rare conditions, and ensure no parent faces loss alone. Sarai’s legacy lives on in every act of hope and healing.

Understanding Type 2 Gaucher Disease

Type 2 Gaucher disease, also known as acute neuronopathic Gaucher disease, is a severe and rare genetic condition. It disrupts the body’s ability to break down certain fatty substances, leading to a buildup of glucosylceramides in vital organs and tissues. This accumulation causes significant damage, particularly to the brain, and progresses rapidly in infants and young children.

What Causes Type 2 Gaucher Disease?

This condition is caused by mutations in the GBA gene. These mutations interfere with the production of an essential enzyme called glucocerebrosidase, which is responsible for breaking down glucosylceramides. Without this enzyme, harmful substances build up in organs like the brain, liver, spleen, and bone marrow, leading to widespread damage.

Early Symptoms to Look For

Symptoms of Type 2 Gaucher disease usually appear within the first few months of life. These may include severe neurological problems such as brain damage and frequent seizures. Children often experience developmental delays, bone abnormalities, and organ enlargement—particularly of the liver and spleen. Difficulty with eye movement, feeding challenges, and trouble swallowing are also common indicators.

Romans 8:18 reminds us:
“I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.”

 Her Life, Her Legacy: The Heart Behind Our Mission 

"Sarai may have only lived two years, but her light continues to guide families through their darkest hours."
Sincerely Sarai Foundation was born from love, loss, and an unwavering will to help others heal. When Meakeal Streeter lost her daughter Sarai to Type 2 Gaucher Disease, she faced a grief no mother should bear. But rather than letting that sorrow close her off, she turned it into a mission of hope.
This foundation is a living legacy — built to provide strength, education, and support to grieving families facing rare illnesses and unimaginable loss. Every counseling session, donation, and resource shared echoes Sarai’s story and reminds us that even the briefest lives can leave the biggest impact.
