What is MSNF
MSNF was created by Maddie Pettigrosso following her fourth daughter Victoria’s traumatic illness. Victoria, who was born a normal healthy 6.5 lb baby, began experiencing multiple seizures at the age of eighteen months old causing her to regress to a three month old baby. At this point she became a special needs little girl. The doctors informed the family that Victoria may never walk or talk. Maddie refused to believe that there was no hope and began her life-long therapy journey with Victoria and by doing so she believes that no child should go without special treatments and services because of the family’s financial situation. Although our organization strives to help all children with special needs, families must be eligible for our support. MSNF became a registered charity in 2015 with a dedicated mission to support underprivileged children in accessing the specialized therapies, treatments, and services they need. We are committed to enhancing the quality of life for children with special needs by helping families overcome financial barriers to essential care.
Through the generous support of individuals, businesses, organizations, and foundations, we are able to continue creating meaningful opportunities for children to grow, develop, and thrive.
Has Your Child Been Diagnosed with a Disability?
Let Us Help You Help Them.
Long wait times for diagnosis and therapy can delay the support your child needs. Early intervention is critical, but private services — often costing up to $150 per hour — can be financially overwhelming for families.
MSNF helps bridge the gap by providing access to essential therapies and support services so children can receive the care they deserve, sooner
