Stories that fuel the movement.
“BGV Foundation gave me the funding and the community I needed to turn my idea into a real business.”
After navigating life after incarceration and then facing a cancer diagnosis, Aisha McCain experienced firsthand how broken the system can be — including the lack of reliable, dignified transportation for patients getting to and from care. That gap became her calling. She founded Casual Recovery, a non-emergency medical transportation company built to ensure no patient is left without a ride when it matters most. Her vision caught fire at a pitch competition in Los Angeles, where she raised over $15,000 to fuel her growing business. Aisha is a BGV Foundation alum whose story is a powerful reminder that lived experience is a superpower.
