BREAKING: Los Angeles Angels Superstar Jo Adell Launches “A Hope Rising Foundation” to Transform the Lives of Children with Disabilities — What an Angel in Human Form
LOS ANGELES, CA — In a moment that reminded the world that true greatness goes far beyond the baseball diamond, Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jo Adell has launched the “A Hope Rising Foundation” — a powerful and heartfelt initiative dedicated to transforming the lives of children with disabilities in the Los Angeles community.
With a wide smile and a heart full of purpose, Adell unveiled the foundation at a touching press conference held at a local community center in South LA. Dozens of children, families, healthcare workers, and teammates were in attendance to witness what many are calling the beginning of something truly life-changing.
> “These kids are fighters. They’re brave, beautiful, and full of light — and it’s time we give them the resources, love, and attention they deserve,” Adell said, his voice filled with emotion.
A Mission Rooted in Love and Action
The Hope Rising Foundation will provide free healthcare access, therapeutic support, adaptive equipment, and essential needs like food, clothing, and hygiene products to children with physical and developmental disabilities. But Adell made it clear — this isn’t just about physical needs.
> “We’re building a foundation on love, joy, and hope,” he said. “These kids deserve to dream as big as anyone else.”
Programs will also include inclusive sports clinics, family counseling services, educational support, and community events aimed at giving children with disabilities not just care, but connection.
A Cause Close to His Heart
Adell, who has become a rising star and fan favorite in Anaheim, shared that he was inspired to create the foundation after connecting with children in local hospitals during team outreach visits. He was particularly moved by the strength of children who face daily challenges with courage and grace.
> “Every time I met a child in a wheelchair or a therapy session, I saw strength that goes way beyond what we see in sports. That’s real strength. That’s real courage.”
Los Angeles Shows Up in Support
The outpouring of love and support was immediate. Teammates, coaches, and celebrities praised Adell’s compassion and leadership. Angels manager Ron Washington called him “a gift to this team and now to this entire city.”
Social media exploded with tributes and gratitude. Hashtags like #HopeRisingLA, #JoAdellCares, and #AngelInHumanForm quickly trended across California.
Mayor Karen Bass also issued a public statement applauding Adell’s efforts:
> “Jo Adell is not just building a foundation — he’s building a legacy of compassion that will uplift generations to come.”
A Brighter Future on the Horizon
The foundation’s first major initiative, “Hope on Wheels,” will launch this summer — a mobile outreach clinic that will travel across underserved neighborhoods in Los Angeles, bringing medical care, therapy, and supplies directly to children and families in need.
Plans are also underway for the construction of the Hope Rising Wellness Center, a community hub offering physical therapy, counseling, and inclusive play spaces for children with disabilities.
