It's February - the month we go the extra mile to demonstrate our love for one another.  It's all about red stuffed animals, roses and big boxes of chocolates. 

We know the real magic is the love our babies receive 24/7 from their Angels parents.  When a child is the victim of abuse and neglect it leaves an imprint on their little lives.  Our job at Angels is to minimize the scars from these tragic beginnings and offer them healing homes where they can recover and learn to trust.   

Even as we read about children suffering around the world, we have infants right here in our community who are starving for nurture. Angels has rescued two babies in the past few weeks diagnosed with failure to thrive, and it is very sad and frightening to learn the details of why they were found in such condition.  It is truly amazing how fast these babies begin to gain weight and catch up developmentally when cared for by loving, committed parents.  We see the before and after pictures of these precious children and even after 12 years of rescuing these babies, I am in awe of the amazing transformation.

As we celebrate the 500 lives we have touched in the past 12 years, we are reminded that our work is not done, and that each month brings opportunities for Angels to save more babies in need.  We dream of the day when we will have families for all the babies referred to Angels.  In the meantime, we remain so grateful to you for your support of our cause.  Indeed it is the partnership between Angels and loving and committed individuals like yourself that allow our dreams to become reality!
