These are just a few of the many local families helped by the D'Angelo Foundation.  When families face difficult needs due to uncovered medical expenses or the loss of income due to the illness or death of a loved one, the D'Angelo Foundation is there to support their fundraising efforts.

While the Foundation  has been raising money to assist families for years, this fall they're kicking their fundraising efforts into high gear with their first ever community event- Monte Carlo Night.  This is your chance to do something to make a difference for neighbors in need.

Meet one of the D'Angelo Fund Families: The Bassett Family

March 20, 2013, Fear, Guilt, Sadness, Anger.  Those are just a few of the emotions that my husband and I felt when our daughter Abigail was diagnosed with a very rare genetic disorder known as Mosaic Trisomy 12p Syndrome when she was 7 months old.  For some parents, their child’s diagnosis is a complete surprise, and other times, it’s something that they may have suspected.  The diagnosis was a shock to us both.  But no matter how and when it happens, having a child diagnosed with a disability is a painful experience.

 In the past year, It has been quite an overwhelming and challenging journey discovering that, my daughter, Abigail, had significant medical issues; and global delays, complicated by a syndrome that experts at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) knew little about it. CHOP specialists and Dr. Ian Krantz, attending physician of their genetics center, are closely monitoring Abigail.  Our family has been under a great deal of stress to meet all of our daughter's medical expenses and much needed adaptive equipment we have not been able to afford her.  Abigail has a need for specific adaptive equipment to be mobile and to be socialized. She also requires handicap accessible modifications in the home.  As you may have surmised, the cost to take on these critical necessities is very expensive. Our insurances will not accommodate the necessary and imperative adaptive equipment and home safety modifications that Abigail needs.

Recently, someone close to me said, “being informed is the best offense in managing the daily and long-term challenges of parenting a child with special needs.  Know what you need and pursue it.”  Abigail needs the support of generous people to make it possible to get the adaptive equipment she needs to enrich her daily life and general well being.  Asking for help from the D’Angelo Foundation is what we as parents must do to significantly improve our daughter’s quality of life.  We don’t want our daughter to suffer.  We need your help.
