Children Moved in on
June 2, 2004......
|
Angel's House opened it's door to children on June
21, 2004. Currently licensed to accommodate
a maximum of ten children, there have been
from 6 to 10 children who have been
residents since it opened its doors. Some only
stay temporarily and are later placed with relatives, but an average of seven children live at Angel's House on a daily basis.
Angel's House runs just like a home with the group leaders acting as house parents. It is heartwarming to go there and smell the meals being prepared and watch as the children play the X-Box, do homework or watch television.
The children's ages range from seven to fifteen. All are good kids who seem to respect the rules and genuinely enjoy the relaxed family atmosphere that surrounds them. They seem to enjoy living at Angel's House even though they are not at home with their parents.
We continue to need money. It is estimated that we will have to raise between $60,000 to $100,000 dollars each year just to meet expenses.
Volunteer groups are being organized to help take care of the needs that seem always to be arising. A campaign will soon begin to enlist one hundred people to commit to a donation of $1,000 per year and we are continuing to ask for major corporations and foundations to give monetary assistance.
It is a sad but true fact that these children come in with only the clothes on their backs,
so we would like to ask anyone who could to send donations of clothes, shoes and underwear which are urgently needed at all times.
Good used clothes and shoes for sizes 6-to adult of all sizes. Right now we desperately need teenage and middle school clothes. Some of these kids are big ... so we take all sizes. Decent shoes are needed desperately and the underwear needs include NEW underwear, bras, socks and tee shirts for children and young adults of all sizes.
