Mitchell Thorp Foundation in Carlsbad | Helping Families in Crisis

Share

The Mitchell Thorp Foundation in Carlsbad, California, helps families who have children fighting life-threatening illnesses. The foundation began from our own family’s story and continues to bring hope and support to families across San Diego County.

Our Story

When our son Mitchell became sick at age 13, doctors could not find a diagnosis. We faced years of hospital visits, bills, and heartbreak. At 18, Mitchell passed away.

During those years, our Carlsbad community came together to help us. They raised money and lifted our family up when we needed it most. After seeing such kindness, we decided to give back. That’s how the Mitchell Thorp Foundation Carlsbad was born.

Why We Help Families

We know how painful and stressful it is when a child is seriously ill. Many parents lose jobs, fall behind on bills, or face emotional strain.

Since 2009, our foundation has helped hundreds of families in Carlsbad and nearby areas. We provide financial aid, emotional support, and resources to keep families strong and united during the toughest times.

Our Impact

  • 100% success rate in keeping families together through crisis
  • Hundreds of children and parents helped since 2009

Through teamwork and compassion, we create hope and healing where it’s needed most.
