6 Babies

 

 

 
 
Since Angels was founded in 1999, we have rescued 373 babies from abuse and neglect. 
 
So far this year we have rescued 14 babies.

 

Hello Angels friends and families:

 

Angels has had a very busy 2010, placing 14 babies already.  In response to a very serious and sad trend, Angels has developed the B3 Battered, Broken Babies Rescue Project.  Over 30% of the babies placed in 2010 have come from the hospital after being treated for multiple broken bones, bruising, and/or internal "life threatening" injuries all inflicted upon them by their parents or caregivers.   A new component has been added to Angels training so that all Angels parents are trained and prepared to meet the extra needs of a "broken" baby.  I want to commend the Angels staff for their tireless efforts in meeting these current demands and always going the extra mile to rescue society's most vulnerable victims - battered and beaten babies!

 

HOW YOU CAN HELP?

 

With placing a "record number" of battered babies already in 2010, you have an opportunity to help rescue a baby in need. For $5,000.00 we're able to provide an Angels baby with a loving family where they can heal and learn to trust again.   Perhaps you could provide a gift of $420.00 for 1 month, $840.00 for 2 months, etc. Any donation is accept!  There is an urgent need now for help. Click here to make donation and help these children now! 

 

Broken Baby 
This very young baby was abused and suffered broken bones to the point where she needed both legs in casts. She was placed in an Angels home where she was nourished and loved.
 
Please help these babies today.
 

Gratefully,

Founder/Executive Director

Please read Dr. Mama's question: 
 

Dear Dr. Mama,

Our daughter is approaching the 2-year-old mark, and my husband and I are in the middle of the Angels training, preparing to bring a foster child into our home. I have to admit that our little girl has been the princess around here, and my question is how can we prepare her to accept a little newcomer? We want her to adore our Angels baby, not resent him or her. Can you help?
