People with ALS pass through a doorway into a different world. It's a one way trip: you may survive, but you can never come home to the same old life.

And however much they want to be with you, Moms, Dads, Sisters, Brothers, Spouses, Friends & Lovers can't come into your world on an equal footing. But when people with ALS meet, it's different.

They don't have to explain how it feels

They don't have to explain anything

ANGELS FOR HOPE

Angels for Hope is a non-profit organization that offers free crocheted angels for anyone in need of hope.

We attach a small card with the angel to say to an injured or ill person, you are not alone, others do care, and you are in our thoughts and prayers.

At your request we can let it be known that you requested the item.

In addition to crocheted angels, we also offer butterflies and smiley faces

 

To request an Angel click on the picture below:
