Comfort, Happiness, and Love for Families Who Need It Most
Supporting families of disabled and medically fragile children through compassion, community, and meaningful assistance.
Born from Love, Built for Families
We started our foundation, Ella Grace Place, in 2014 in memory of our little girl, Ella. She left us in 2014 at the age of 5½ due to complications of a rare genetic syndrome.
In her honor, we began by creating little bags of toiletries for families whose children were emergently admitted to the hospital. When the pandemic hit in 2020, hospitals could no longer accept outside products in their facilities — so we adapted.
Since then, we have focused on raising funds for families with special needs children who may be struggling financially. We typically provide equipment such as wheelchairs, special beds, clothing, therapy, and other assistive devices, even iPads!
Last year, we raised $18,000 — and 2026 has given us many opportunities to help! We have provided much-needed assistance to a little girl named Nova, a little boy named Saul, brothers Jalen & Kylar, and a little boy named Alexander — just to name a few.
We would love for you to consider joining us as we build our funds to help more families. Thank you so much for your interest and consideration.
Born from Love.
Built for Families.
Ella Grace Place exists in honor of Ella — a reminder that every child's life is precious and every family deserves support.
Our mission is simple: provide comfort, happiness, and love to families facing the overwhelming challenges of raising a disabled or medically fragile child.
We believe no family should face these moments alone.
How We Support Families
Equipment Funding
We fund essential medical and accessibility equipment for families of special needs children — bridging the gap between what insurance covers and what families truly need.

Insurance often falls short. We step in to help cover costs for communication devices, adaptive strollers, specialized vehicles, mobility aids, and more.
Learn MoreCommunity Fundraising
Driven by donations and community fundraisers, we raise the funds that make it possible to say yes to families who have nowhere else to turn.

Every child has a story. Here are just a few of the families whose lives have been touched by your generosity.
Nova
Nova is a little girl with Congenital Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 who requires specialized therapy to thrive. Her family received assistance to help ensure she gets the care and support she needs to grow and flourish.
Saul
Saul has two genetic mutations that have caused him to fight for his life at CHOP for 17 months. He bravely endured a bone marrow transplant and numerous surgeries. His family has been seeking therapy to meet his developmental needs. He can only attend school with a nurse — if one isn't available, he must stay home.
Olivia
Olivia has a syndrome that required her to receive special driving lessons tailored to her unique needs. She is a joy and an inspiration to everyone around her.
Jalen & Kylar
Two brothers whose family received help with adaptive equipment so they could enjoy more comfort and independence.
