In Angel House every child is very special and for each of them the most important day of the year is their birthday, so we always have a special celebration to mark that milestone in their life and give them a memory to cherish forever. This month we celebrated another birthday with boy D becoming six-years old, he enjoyed sharing his birthday cake and ice-cream with all his friends; D has the biggest smile and is a very bright little boy. But he is not one of our residents …..
He is one of our ‘drop-in’ kids that seem to spend more time in Angel House than his own home, we try to help families like his who struggle to survive and have many young children to feed, clothe and educate. Community outreach is an important element of the Angel House foundation, particularly during this pandemic. In the past we have helped the seven Day-care centers in our community and also had a scholarship program for children ages 5-8 years old.
Of course this year is very different as there has been no Day-care classes or school for any children due to the covid-19 virus; all children are being home-schooled and receive ‘modules’ of work from their school every week to be completed at home. But Angel House still tries to help wherever it can, giving out school supplies and supporting families like those of boy D.
Your donations through Angel House not only help the children that stay with us, but also those in the community who desperately need our support during these difficult times; at least boy D will have a happy memory of his birthday and that will give him hope for a brighter future without covid-19.
