Mary Therese Rose Crilly was born in 1998 with Joubert Syndrome a rare genetic disorder
which left her profoundly disabled. Though physically limited, Mary’s limitless love and courage
inspired those closest to her to establish a fund in her name to benefit special needs children
being treated out of the Kireker Center for Child Development. The Fund provides needed
therapies and equipment that are so often denied by insurance companies because of lifetime
insurance benefit limits or simple denial of reasonable claims.
Each year The Mary Therese Rose Fund helps families pay for needed equipment like orthotics,
braces, and standers. It also funds activities such as horseback riding that are therapeutic and
brighten the lives of these special kids. It is the goal of The Mary Therese Rose Fund to help
these special children reclaim some of the simple joys of childhood denied them by their
disabilities. Though Mary passed away in 2003 her brief life was filled with joy. In gratitude,
and to honor her memory, supporters of the Mary Therese Rose Fund continue to work so that
other special children can experience some of childhood’s simple joys as Mary did. For more
