Whether it is hands on, financially, and above all, your prayers for those in need, your support is greatly appreciated. Angels can't fly with one wing. We can always use an extra pair of "wings" and it is a wonderful way to give from the heart.
We have compiled the following list of suggested ways of how you too can be an "angel":
Angel Care/Healing Angels
Retreats and support for caregivers and survivors.
