 Welcome to the season of gratitude, the season of giving, the season of joy, the season of love, the season of hope, the season that so many wait for all year long! Some call it the Holiday Season because there are so many holidays from Thanksgiving to New Years. I call it the Christmas Season! For me Christmas is the highlight. For me, a savior is born and I am so thankful for that. What else am I thankful for? I'm thankful for YOU, each and every one of YOU. YOU provide everything humanly possible to make our mission sustainable. Have you ever noticed how I always write YOU in all caps? That's because YOU are so very important to our Annie's Angels mission. Without YOU, we are nothing. I'm also grateful for our Angel Families. They struggle, claw, and fight for every second of life, seconds that we, so many times take for granted. They are so happy to receive the smallest bit of help. They're so grateful for everything they have and every bit of help we offer. It means so much to me to be able to serve our Angel Families. What do we do with the funding that YOU provide? Well in November we provided assistance for 71 families! YOU allowed us to pay rent for 3 families. YOU allowed us to pay to have 9 vehicles repaired. YOU allowed 7 cancer patients to receive massage therapy through our Annie's Helping Hands Program. YOU paid utility bills for 14 families! YOU did all this and so much more. Today is Giving Tuesday, a day meant for you to share some of your savings from Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday with the charity of your choice. I hope the charity YOU choose is Annie's Angels. Beyond Giving Tuesday, Annie's Angels continues with our Year End Campaign. Year End Campaign is so very important because it replenishes funds we've responsibly used throughout the year helping our Angel Families, and it set the stage for 2025. I'm asking YOU to please make your charitable, tax deductible donation today. Visit our GiveSmart donation
platform now by clicking the blue GiveSmart link!
On behalf of our Angel Families, our Board of Directors, and Advisory Board I thank you for a great year, a productive year, a compassionate year. I am Humbly Yours, William DaGiau, Founder Annie's Angels Memorial Fund Inc.
For the last 17 years, YOU have done all this and so much more. Please help us continue to never say NO to a family struggling through disease, illness or disability. Visit AnniesAngels.org

Without YOU, WE are nothing.
