What do we do with the funding that YOU provide?

Well in April we provided assistance for 80 families!

• YOU allowed us to pay for 32 families to receive medical care.

• YOU allowed us to pay to have 4 vehicles repaired.

• YOU allowed 16 patients to receive equipment that was NOT covered by insurance.

• YOU paid utility bills for 12 families!

• YOU helped 6 veterans receive furever companions!

YOU did all this and so much more!

A Word From Our Founder:

Dear Mom,

I know you hate to be in the spotlight but here you are. I pulled you from my memories 18 years ago and with the help of family, friends and supporters you’ve become a beacon of hope for so many.

In your name, Annie’s Angels has raised 6.5 million dollars, and we’ve filled nearly 10,000 requests for assistance. We’ve been able to buy fifteen wheelchair vans and other equipment that insurance wouldn’t pay for. We know what that’s like right! In your name mom, Annie’s Angels has paid utility bills, groceries, doctors’ co-pays, car repairs, and so much more. Annie’s Helping Hands has helped hundreds of men and women with various cancers get free massage, reiki, acupuncture. Imagine if this program was available to you. Arts for Angels has provided more than 1,000 art projects for seniors in assisted living and day out programs, while Drumming for Parkinson’s and Eldercare provides free drumming classes. Angel Pets provides free companion animals to current and former military, nearly 700 so far.

Mom, I know you hate to be in the spotlight but now, you ARE the light, that beacon of hope in the center of this community. You are a beacon that so many have told me they can’t live without. Thank you for looking out for us. We miss you every day.

I want to wish you a happy 100th birthday in heaven and a happy 18th anniversary to your namesake Annie’s Angels and happy Mother’s Day. We miss you every day.

Love Always,

Bill

We’re excited to announce the upcoming golf tournament to support Jim Harvey and his family. Jim, a lifelong Windham resident, beloved husband, father, and community member, sustained a life-changing spinal cord injury in 2021.

Since then, the incredible generosity of friends, family, and neighbors has helped the Harveys face ongoing medical needs, home accessibility upgrades, and daily care. This year’s fundraiser will help cover rising in-home care costs and an upcoming trip to Colorado for surgery. Last year’s tournament sold out, so be sure to register early—we’re looking forward to another amazing day on the course for a great cause!
