What do we do with the funding that YOU provide?

Well in June we provided assistance for 59 families!

• YOU allowed us to pay for 10 families to receive medical care.

• YOU allowed 18 patients to receive equipment that was NOT covered by insurance.

• YOU paid utility bills for 10 families!

YOU did all this and so much more!

A Word From Our Founder:

Dear Mom,

Can you believe that in June we helped 59 families! July is off to a quick start too. Let me tell you about 2 families we helped in June.

The first person is Tom. Tom needed an electric power chair after losing his leg to diabetes. Naturally, insurance was no help to Tom. His caseworker TM thought Tom would benefit from a powerchair and applied for assistance. Total cost, $800 delivered to his home. Thanks to the Angels among us we were able to make the purchase. Tom is free and easy now, able to navigate his home and neighborhood.

The second is Eli. Eli has Spastic Quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy. He relies on others to get him around. Long story short mom, his caseworker ML requested a portable light weight powerchair from Annie’s Angels. Guess why…that’s right mom, it’s not covered by insurance. It was covered by Annie’s Angels. His mom sent a video. The entire family is so happy to have this equipment!

Mom, families come to us every day. They come broken and beat down. They come hopeless and ready to quit. Through this adventure we’ve built in your memory, we are able to lift them up and give them hope. They come to us one way and now everything for them is different; the only thing in between is Annie’s Angels and our donors. I wish we had more of them!

That’s it for now mom.

Love,

Bill
