The Charlie Stella Foundation

The Charlie Stella Foundation The Charlie Stella Foundation is a Non-Profit working to provide inclusive playgrounds, equipment and programs to connect children of all abilities.

The Charlie Stella Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization built from the inspiration found in Charlie Stella's wish granted through The Make a Wish Foundation. Rather than take a trip to Disney this one special wish evolved into an inclusive play area that was constructed in Charlie's name at Royal View Elementary School in North Royalton Ohio for not only Charlie to enjoy but for

children of all abilities to enjoy for years to come as well. Through this foundation we envision cultivating unbiased and harmonious play environments that will benefit communities and children of all abilities.

 Today is Charlie’s 16th birthday. That doesn’t change because he’s no longer here with us. It is still his 16th birthday today, and next year will be his 17th birthday, and so on and so on. We just have to celebrate his birthdays differently now, and that’s what we do. We grew in unimaginable ways over the 2441 days of life that we shared with our son, and we’ve continued to grow over the last 3405 days that we have lived as bereaved parents. We will continue to grow because of the importance of doing so until we have the privilege of being with our son once again. The events of our lives do not provide us with any divine insight or understanding. The events did not make us better people than anyone else, and simultaneously did not make anyone else better than us. What is provided is a different perspective and what is deserving of value. We continue simple acts of kindness and generosity on certain special days of the year; we just try and do it anonymously now, and will continue to do so as long as we are able. Today, we encourage you to do something kind for the benefit of humanity and to try and understand that empathy is the furthest thing from weakness.
