Madeline has always been active, adventurous and resilient. She plays soccer, hikes with her dogs, and rides her dirt bike around the backyard. She is a talented artist and participates with her aunt in activities for the Special Olympics of Delaware. Madeline is looking forward to completing her senior year at Rustin High, going to college and living a full, productive, and independent life.
As you can imagine, we are now facing daunting expenses related to Madeline’s injury. Even with insurance there are many expenses that must be paid out of pocket. Our immediate concern is the home modifications that will need to be made to accommodate Madeline and wheelchair accessible transportation. In addition, she will require specialized adaptive equipment, ongoing rehabilitation therapy and full time care.
To help with the financial burden of Maddie’s uninsured expenses, a fundraising campaign in her honor has been established with Help Hope Live, a trusted nonprofit organization that has been providing community-based fundraising guidance to patients and their families for more than 30 years. All donations are tax deductible to the full extent allowed by law, are held by Help Hope Live in the Mid-Atlantic Spinal Cord Injury Fund, and are administered by Help Hope Live for injury-related expenses only. To make a tax-deductible donation to this fundraising campaign, click on the Donate Now button.
Please check Madeline’s campaign page regularly to follow her progress, send her messages, and learn about upcoming fundraisers. We are very grateful and thankful for your kindness, generosity, support and prayers.

Madeline has now settled in at home and started school 2 mornings per week. She is determined to graduate on time! Outpatient therapy will start soon!
Thanks to your generous donations, we were able to purchase a wheelchair accessible van for her transportation to school, therapy, and social events!!
We were also able to purchase materials needed to construct a shower unit for her. A huge THANK YOU to Fran and Gregg for their volunteered time in building the shower! WOW, you guys are awesome!!
An update on our Mini Golf Help Hope Live Fundraiser: It was a wonderful night with about 400 people going through to play. We had a great many sponsors, and all contributed in some way. Check out the video!
Madeline came home on March 1st. Welcome home!
We are preparing for Madeline to come home in the next few weeks. Thank you to everyone for keeping in touch, and for all of the offers to help with this transition!
Happy Birthday Madeline! We love you!

Hi, Madeline. This is your former neighbor, Debbie Baird. I just learned of your accident and seeing your bright smile reminds me of when you were about 5 years old and came to my door asking if you could come in or swing in my hammock. I see progress in your therapy pictures and I see that you are a strong young woman. I wish you continued success in your recovery. Keep up the good fight! I will be wearing a #MADSTRONG T-shirt as soon as it comes in the mail. With fond memories....
Miss Debbie
I am the mother of India and Isabella Miraldi. I was once so inspired by someone I worked for. Like you, he had a beautiful smile and a great attitude- he became a very successful stock broker and motivational speaker. I was so inspired by him that I went back to school and became a Physical Therapist thanks to him. If there's anything I can do to help you and your family when you return home, please let me know. Keep persevering and like Winston Churchill said- "Never, never, never give up!!!".
