Today we’d like to introduce you to Dina Alsaid.
Hi Dina, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
The last 8 years, I have been actively competing in pageantry and promoting my platform:
Autism Awareness advocating on behalf of early childhood intervention.
I have two teenagers:
Mona who is 16 years old. She has been. Diagnosed witg ADHD, Sensory Processing Disorder and Dysgraphia.
Abe is 15 years old. He has been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Intellectual Disability.
We can never plan our life out to the T. God is the best of planners.
January 2024, I decided that my family needed to start their own business. I registered:
Alsaid Transportation Services
* Specializing in Paratransit Needs.
June 1st 2024: I unexpectedly became a widow with two special needs teenagers.
I had nothing. My late husband did not have life insurance. I did have my suv’s and a dream. I
become a private driver.
I needed a way to be present for my kids and capable of providing for them.
I continue to represent my current pageant system:
Ultimate Universe as Ms. Ultimate Universe World 2025-2026.
I also am active in my kids school and within the district.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Losing my husband was one of their hardest moments to process. I had to be strong for my children as well as help them cope with the loss.
At that time, my daughter was 15 years old and my son was 13 years old.
My children and I have no family in the U.S. All that’s left was my late husband’s family that live in Jordan. I am thankful for my local mosque and community for being their for my family in the beginning. It was a blessing knowing that strangers were praying for us.
Finances can cause an individual to suffer from extreme mental and physical exhaustion. We made do with what we had. My daughter stepped up to care for her brother while I got my bearings with work.
Now, the biggest challenge is saving up to buy my daughter a car.

At the moment I am unable to accommodate motorized wheelchairs.
If you had to, what characteristic of yours would you give the most credit to?
I strive to provide safe transportation for those who require more help. As a special needs mother myself, I understand how daunting it can be to find adequate transportation for our children. I created Alsaid Transportation Services for this specific reason. No matter age or deficit, we all deserve to be treated with dignity.
