All Good Families receive a helping hand from those following in 'Fred's Footsteps' By Amanda Brady Monday, November 9, 2026 12:23PM The mission of "Fred's Footsteps" is to provide relief to families during the time of a childhood illness. New Castle County, DE -- A Pennsylvania nonprofit is paving the way for others to follow in "Fred's Footsteps." Their work has touched hundreds of families in the area. "Fred's Footsteps is a nonprofit organization that works with families caring for seriously ill, injured and disabled children...Our 'Bridge Fund' helps with mortgage/rent, and then our 'Keys to Mobility' helps families obtain accessible vehicles. And our 'Pat's Projects' is to work with families to increase accessibility and safety within their home," said Executive Director, Christine DiBona Lobley. One of their recent projects ensures that a young boy with autism can enjoy his time outdoors, sheltered from any potential dangers beyond his backyard.
