Our final recipient stands alone. She loved Annie’s Angels, she loved our mission, she loved to support our events, she worked hard to get others to love Annie’s Angels and our Angel Pets program, as much as she did. On March 14, Annie’s Angels lost an amazing friend and supporter. We will always remember Marie Brownell.

What do we do with the money we raise? WE CHANGE LIVES!

Let me introduce you to Hunter. Hunter is 4 months old and is diagnosed with ACC- Genesis of the Corpus Colossum as well as Coffin Siris Syndrome (CSS). I won't go into the diagnosis further but just know, this family will have struggles. 

Mom writes, "Our challenges range from the big scary appointments and latest news, to the crazy medical bills that keep coming, to the every day little stresses. Even with Hunter being very immune compromised, we are still trying to give him a vibrant life and keeping things as normal as possible. We try to get out on long walks seeing as being outdoors is safest and go places we can explore but not get too close to crowds. We are lucky because he loves being in the car and in the carriage, but the downfall is- his monitor battery life is just short of anywhere from 2 to 2 and a half hours. So after packing up him and his stroller and his oxygen tank and his monitor and all the wires, we get somewhere and have to factor in time to drive home and can’t really spend a day out with him. As he gets older, we want to do and show him more, and this time constraint feels ridiculous, but insurance will not cover a better monitor with a longer battery life- they said 2-3 hours is plenty of time to be out. This feels very limiting to us, and in my eyes, my son deserves the world- so I want to show him the world."

Annie's Angels(YOU) committed to purchasing a new monitor for Hunter. I just received a thank you card. Mom and dad expressed, "We cannot thank you enough for the beyond generous gift. We are so grateful. It has changed our day to day lives more than you know." mom also said, in Hunter's voice, "Thanks to you I can go out for a long time now and do so many things. I went on a super long walk and counted bunnies with mama. The 3 of us then got to eat outside at a restaurant! The next day I got to go all the way to dada's work and try the pool there. None of this would be possible without you. Thank You! Hunter"

There are some picture but I didn't get permission to share those so I'll hang on to them until I can get that. Please know that what we do changes lives. We can't do it without YOU! Thank you again for your continued support.
