Dear Friends,
As Angels' new Executive Director, I enter 2013 with exciting goals for the coming year. 2012 was record breaking for our little agency, as we placed more babies in safe and loving San Diego homes than ever before. This is a gratifying milestone, and it increases our determination to move ahead to the ultimate goal- a day when every baby in need has the caring arms of an extraordinary family to welcome them.
To make this happen we must push ahead on two fronts: right here in our own backyard, where more than a thousand children under age three enter the foster care system each year, and beyond our boundaries where hundreds of thousands of babies in our country are the unwilling victims of abuse and neglect.
As you know, today Angels has two successful sister agencies; Angels Santa Barbara and Angels Oklahoma City. 2013 is the year we will expand the reach of our groundbreaking model even more. We hope to begin just over our borders with Angels Orange County and Angels Riverside, and are currently in conversation with leaders in those communities.
Please help us realize our dream of Angels Everywhere: One child. One loving family. Spread the word to your network in every community, because this is the care our vulnerable little ones deserve. They are all our children.
Wishing you a healthy and successful New Year,
Rachel
