Fello is excited to bring back its annual 50/50 raffle, a fun and easy way to win big while supporting children with disabilities and their families.

The Power in Your Purchase
All proceeds from the raffle support Fello’s Family Fund, a 100% donor-funded program that helps families pay for essential services that are often expensive or not covered by insurance. Founded in 2021, the Family Fund has distributed over $382,000 to 239 families, with 2025 being the most successful year for the program yet.
Behind every grant is a child with unique goals and the resources that help build the right support around them.
For Christa, watching her nine-year-old daughter Della’s mobility decline was heartbreaking. As her bones grew faster than her muscles could keep up, Della lost the ability to straighten her legs fully for more than four years.
As Della approached her pre-teen years, Christa knew this was a critical moment. Children often experience rapid growth during this stage, and the right intervention can make all the difference for their future independence.
After years of research, Christa found a specialist who offered a less invasive procedure, called PERCs, with the potential to preserve Della’s strength and mobility. Insurance deemed the costly procedure ‘cosmetic’.
With a grant from the Family Fund, Della was able to receive the surgery over summer break, giving her time to heal and focus on physical therapy without missing school.
The results were immediate and remarkable. Within weeks, Della was doing things once thought impossible—like standing up by herself. The impact of the surgery was more than physical.
“This really reduced my stress as a mother,” said Christa. “Having to watch my child struggle just to move her own body every day just hurt. This surgery that my daughter had will essentially affect her whole life. She has greater movement, more comfort, and better stability.”
Hundreds of children like Della rely on the access the Family Fund provides, and the need grows steadily each year. Since the 2026 application opened in February, Fello has already received over 360 applications, a record high.
“High-impact resources that empower children with disabilities to meet their potential are unfortunately out of reach for many families in our community,” said Sara Pease, Assistant Director of Children, Youth & Families. “The Family Fund helps close the gap by expanding access for families and creating opportunities for children to set and achieve their unique goals specific to their needs.”
When you purchase a raffle ticket, you are not just entering to win. You are helping provide access, opportunity, and life-changing resources to children, like Della, who need them most.
