In February 2026, Stephen Nangeroni was injured in a high-speed ski accident that left him with three fractures in his spine and a severe spinal cord injury. He underwent emergency surgeries to stabilize his spine and is now in a rehabilitation hospital in Boston, beginning what will be a long and challenging recovery.
Currently, he is paralyzed from the waist down and has limited use of his hands.
Originally a native of the Boston area, Stephen lived in New York City for 9 years before moving west to Los Angeles, which he has called home since 2021. He loves traveling, playing music, spending time in the great outdoors, and visiting family and friends near and far. We want to get Stephen back to these activities as soon as we can!
While Stephen has a long road to recovery ahead, he has brought his usual strength, resilience, and positivity to these first several weeks and we know that will continue. His recovery will require extensive, ongoing care and major life adjustments. All funds raised will go towards the costs associated with this kind of injury, which include:
- Intensive rehabilitation and physical therapy
- Medical equipment and assistive technology
- Home and vehicle accessibility modifications
- In-home care and support
- Long-term medical expenses
We are incredibly grateful for the love and support our family has already received. Every donation—no matter the size—will directly support Stephen’s recovery and future.
If you’re unable to give, sharing this page with your network would mean just as much.
Thank you for any and all donations and support that you can offer for Stephen.
Love,
The Nangeroni Family
