Molly Smiles Foundation

Established in 2023, was created in loving memory of Molly. MSF is dedicated to supporting special needs children and their families as they navigate caring for their child.

Molly was diagnosed with rare chromosomal abnormality, Angelma syndrome, in 2019. Common symptoms of Angelman syndrome involve significant developmental delays, seizures, sleep disturbances, and lack of speech.  A prominent characteristic of people with Angelman syndrome is happiness and plenty of smiles. Molly's family worked with multiple agencies to get Molly all the support and services possible, over time Molly was making amazing progress when she unexpectedly passed away in her sleep in November of 2022. 

Molly and her family were fortunate to be connected with George Mark Children House, a vital resource during Molly's life as well as providing support during Molly's family's bereavement.

MSF’s mission to spread smiles in Molly’s memory has led to donating over $50,000 to GMCH, awarding 12 children with Molly Smiles Grants, raising funds for an accessible playground addition at Molly’s preschool, and so much more.
