2023-2024 Multiples of Illinois State Philanthropic

The Petty family

Philanthropic

The Petty family are an Illinois family with multiples. Their oldest son, Maddox, was diagnosed with quadriplegic cerebral palsy when he was 2 years old. He is now 10. He weighs 70 lbs and is 4 1/2 ft tall! They live in a split level home and since Maddox is unable to help his family carry or lift him it has become a huge struggle to get him in and out of their home safely. They have been trying for over 2 years to get assistance to install an elevator lift. Every dollar donated will go directly to this amazing family!

Final Update


Thanks to the generosity of MOI, we raised $1,124.25 this year for the Petty Family. This support enabled them to install a much-needed elevator lift in their home for their son, and they’re now planning to renovate their bathroom to make it more accessible as he grows. The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to MOI and everyone who contributed to making this possible.
