Our request numbers...STAGGERING; our testimonials...HEARTFELT; our supporters have donated 4.9 million dollars in these sixteen years...AMAZING! Through all this, Annie's Angels has still never said NO to a family who meets our mission and needs our help. There is one page on our website that still breaks my heart... its  Our Families (anniesangels.org). As I scroll down the page, I wonder why so many are still waiting for help? 

Kooper's Home Renovation Fund; Sharon H Medical Fund; Renda's Fight; Kale Pitts Quality of Life Fund; Support for Myla; Thea's Family Transportation Fund; Walker Family Fund; Emily's Assistance Fund; Sabrina's Strides; Liam's Van Fund; The Barr Family Fund; Positive Thoughts for Keri; Emily's Medical Assistance Fund.

Some of these families are raising funds to make their home accessible after a diagnosis, some are raising funds for a wheelchair accessible van after an accident or diagnosis, and some have ongoing need that can never be cured. I wish we had the money to write these BIG checks for these amazing Angel Families. I wish that YOU would take a look at  Our Families (anniesangels.org)  fall in love with one of them and help them reach their goal.

One of the most humbling phrases I get when Angel Families send a thank you is; "I just want you to know, the help you have given my family got me in the right direction and was a huge help."
 
All of our successes are because of YOU, the Angels Among Us who give generously and give often. Without YOU we are nothing. Please consider adopting an Angel Family to help. Some Angel Families will reach their goals, some will not. With YOUR help they can ALL reach their goals.
