Breast Cancer Angels Here on Earth 
Once again I am in awe at all we have accomplished during the past year. Without us, women and children would be going hungry and in some cases homeless due to breast cancer. Your funds provide financial assistance and the blessing of knowing someone cares. We are fast approaching 10 years since we ventured out to become “Angels Here on Earth” and what an incredible journey it has been. I am looking forward to next year and pray that you all have a wonderful holiday season and a very blessed New Year.

Love,
Faye

Client & Families Holiday

Thank you so much to everyone that donated toys and holiday gifts for our Moms and families.  Thank you to everyone that came by to share cookies and help wrap the gifts. We received blessings in abundance for our families. Sunday we enjoyed friendship, Santa passed out gifts, Moms shared smiles with each other while they made beautiful wreaths and we were reminded of what a group of Angels can do to make the season a little brighter.   Check out the photos on our Face Book Fan Page please tag your photos so we can share!
