- The foundation aims to assist individuals like Farrell's son, James, who has Angelman syndrome.

- The 'In Bruges' actor opened up about his son in an emotional interview with People magazine, saying that James turns 21 in September, a significant milestone for those with special needs.
- Individuals with special needs often face a lack of support once they reach adulthood, Farrell said.
- "Once your child turns 21, they’re kind of on their own," he told People. "All the safeguards that are put in place – special ed classes – that all goes away. So, you’re left with a young adult who should be an integrated part of our modern society and more often than not is left behind."
- Through the foundation, Farrell hopes to provide support in various aspects of life for individuals with intellectual disabilities.
