Bringing Joy Back to the Milligan Family After a Heartbreaking Loss

The Milligan Family
Michael and Tara (D’Orazio) are graduates of Bonner and O’Hara respectively and were married in 1997. They have three beautiful children. On November 4, 2009, just days after the c-section delivery of their third child, Tara developed an infection and tragically passed away at age 38. Michael is left with the overwhelming task of sole provider, caretaker, and single parent to his three young children.

The Billy Keane Foundation wants to help bring joy to this family’s life once again. The Milligan family will be visiting The Great Wolf Lodge in the Poconos, a family indoor water park resort, to enjoy a weekend of family time and fun together. In addition, Mike will be receiving a Sunday Phillies Game season package for next season, to make sure he takes much-needed time for himself.

The Billy Keane Foundation has also made a donation to the children’s education fund to ease the financial burden of their future education.

The Billy Keane Foundation is honored to be a part of supporting these strong and courageous families. Many thanks to the Paoletti, Russella, and Milligan families for sharing your stories with us, and for allowing us the opportunity to support you. Please know that in the coming year, you will be in the hearts and prayers of our board, as well as all of our donors and supporters. God Bless You All!
