Angelo Murphy

Angelo’s Story

Meet Angelo, our brave, funny, and incredibly strong 7 year old grandson with the biggest heart and the brightest smile. A die hard Phillies fan, Angelo loves football, books, and making people laugh in his own unique way. He has a way of lighting up every room he enters, and anyone who meets him quickly sees just how special he is.

Angelo was born prematurely and has been a fighter since day one. He lives with cerebral palsy, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, and other complex medical needs that make everyday activities more challenging. He uses a wheelchair for mobility and is nonverbal, but he has an amazing ability to communicate joy, love, and personality without words. Eating is still a work in progress. He has a feeding tube but continues to work hard in therapy as he explores new foods.

Despite the obstacles he faces, Angelo is just like any other child. He wants to play, explore, learn, and be included in the world around him. Doing those things often requires specialized equipment, adaptive supports, and ongoing therapies that are not always covered by insurance.

This campaign helps support Angelo’s evolving needs such as adaptive equipment, therapy tools, mobility supports, recovery needs, or future modifications that allow him to grow more independent and comfortable in daily life. As Angelo grows, so do his needs, and having the flexibility to meet those needs when they arise makes a meaningful difference.

Your support helps Angelo experience the simple joys of childhood including connection, play, and inclusion. Every contribution or share helps us continue building a world where he can thrive.

Thank you for loving Angelo and being part of his journey. 💚
