Colin Farrell Launches Foundation for Intellectual Disabilities
Foundation Honors Son with Angelman Syndrome
Irish actor Colin Farrell has announced the launch of the Colin Farrell Foundation, established to provide support for individuals with intellectual disabilities and their families.
The inspiration behind the foundation is Farrell's 20-year-old son, James, who was diagnosed with Angelman syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that affects neurodevelopment. Farrell stated that his intention is to establish a center that would be a home away from home for people with intellectual disabilities and their families, offering respite care, therapeutic services, and social activities. The foundation aims to raise awareness and provide support for families navigating the challenges associated with raising a child with disabilities. Farrell believes that by creating a sense of community and offering practical assistance, it can alleviate some of the burdens faced by these families. The actor expressed his deep commitment to the cause, acknowledging that individuals with intellectual disabilities deserve to lead fulfilling and happy lives. The Colin Farrell Foundation will work towards ensuring they receive the support and opportunities they need to achieve their full potential.
