"Yearly Angels blessed me during my time of need. I am truly grateful."
“Being a recipient of Yearly Angels was a major unexpected, right on time boost for my family and me. I am so grateful for the help & support given by an organization that cares. The help came through just in time for the holidays. Here’s an organization that lives up to the name, Yearly Angels.”
"At a time of the year when I was in the midst of making some crucial decisions, Yearly Angels stepped in and lifted burdens off of my chest with a gift of a $1000. The compassion and generosity that the organization and the founder exhibit for grant recipients is something that is not encountered regularly. Crossing paths with organizations and people such as Yearly Angels and the founder has made my journey with MS a blessing. Thanks so much for Yearly Angels and their donors!"
"I appreciate what Yearly Angels did for my family in our time of need during the holiday season. This was a blessing."
"I want to thank you for choosing me as a recipient of Yearly Angels. Being a recipient of your generous gift of a $1000 meant having much needed help to weather crisis in my life right now. One being, I would have not been able to complete payments for therapy. Because of a mastectomy (cancer survivor), there are certain garments I’m required to purchase every 6 months for the rest of my life. I have to have lymph edema treatments 2x a week and each time I have to pay for those treatments. Lately, I have had to cancel appointments because I haven’t had the money to pay. I also need to make repairs around the house and with my car.Receiving this gift has made those purchases possible and made all the difference in the world to me right now. Yearly Angels have made a difficult time that much better."
"Yearly Angels were a huge blessing for us this year. I can’t tell you enough how Honored, and truly Blessed I am about being chosen. I am, so Happy about paying off the MS Center, and using the rest to help with my son’s medical bills.When you are sick you feel like a burden to your family, but when you have outstanding medical bills, you become a much bigger financial burden. I have not been to the center in a long time because of fear of accruing more debt. Because of Yearly Angels I’m able to pay it off, and hold my head a little higher, and feel more proud of myself.It’s a great gift to receive and especially at Christmas. It’s a time for giving, and being Thankful. I am truly Thankful for you, and your foundation.God Bless you, and Yearly Angels donors. This is a Foundation that will always be close to my heart. I believe in giving back, and paying it forward. I pray one day I can truly bless someone the way you have done me. Thank you, so much!!"
"One of the recipients is currently paralyzed from the waist down. Over a year ago, she was injured while out celebrating the birthday and engagement of a friend. While dancing, an unknown male came up behind her and when she turned around to ask him to move, he picked her up, lost his balance and dropped her on her head. He then ran. She was left completely paralyzed from the neck down at that time. She was sent to the Shepherd Center for therapy/rehabilitation and as they told her, she would need “to learn how to function in her new state.” Although Dr.’s told her that due to the injury, she would probably never regain use of any of her body parts, she never believed that. She continually spoke in faith that she would regain full movement and the ability to walk. Unfortunately, due to lack of insurance she was released from the Center earlier than planned; however before being released, she had regained some limited use of her arms and upper extremities. The $1000 grant from Yearly Angels will help her with therapy, medical bills, certain medical equipment, home aides, and taking care of her kids. She has kept her smile and remains positive throughout this whole ordeal."
"I just love this organization and what they’re doing for the community. Way to go Yearly Angels. Keep up the good work. Helping those in need."
"Glory to God! Absolutely wonderful! The Founder saw a critical need and did something about helping people rather than just talk! She is a woman of God and a visionary.Thank you Yearly Angels... I haven't worked since August this is an absolute blessing! Thank you again for blessing me during my time of need."
"I can't express how much of a blessing being chosen to receive the gift from Yearly Angels has meant to me and my family. It came at a time of great need in our lives. Your gift has helped to relieve some of our financial burden. I now have some peace of mind if I need to see my neurologist I can without fearing how I will pay for it. MS is hard enough to deal with but add in not having coverage or finances to take care of your medical needs and it gets that much harder. Thank you so much. This gift has given us the breathing room we so very much need."
"This cause is awesome! This will help so many with MS because those MRIs and other treatments are not cheap!"
"The past few years have been a financial struggle for my husband and me. This spring, I felt God calling me to leave my job and work at a private Christian school. I was excited to work at the school that I had attended from the 6th to the 8th grade; however, I knew that this transition would further stress our finances. However, I find myself working in a wonderful environment surrounded by people that I love. I received a gift from Yearly Angels. This financial help was greatly needed and greatly appreciated. The end of the year is always tight. We needed help with normal bills and medical bills. Our car had just died, and we were trying to figure out how to pay for basic things. Yearly Angels helped us pay for some of our daily needs, and get a little bit ahead with a few bills. I can't explain how sweet it is to see God providing for our physical and emotional needs through financial gifts. Yearly Angels helped me pay the bills, but it also helped me rest over the Christmas season. I know that I followed God and made the right decision with my job, because he continues to provide, even when things look bleak. Thank you, Yearly Angels! Your organization was a little 'Jesus with skin on' for me this Christmas."
"Being chosen as a recipient for the Yearly Angels grant was an answer to my prayers. I just want to THANK YOU for nominating me for the Yearly Angels grant for $1000. Actually being chosen as a winner was a big surprise and it made my day and my Christmas! As a first year school teacher and a single mother with little help from my son’s father, I had no idea how I would be able to get anything for my son at Christmas and pay certain bills. I literally had about $20 in my bank account. I didn’t want to go to friends and family for help.My last resort to making some extra money was to try to get a few house cleaning jobs on weekends and/or weeknights once I was out of school.When the Founder came to my school and surprised me with the check from Yearly Angels, I was so surprised. I had no idea that I had been picked among all the other people who applied for this grant. Not only was I able to get my son the things he asked for at Christmas, but I also had enough left over to get caught up on many of my bills that I had been behind on. Yearly Angels was truly a blessing to me and I don’t know how to thank them. I really don’t know what I would have done without Yearly Angels. I don’t think anyone has ever done something so nice for me at such the perfect time. Your kindness is truly appreciated!"
"When I was first diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis I could no longer see my future. The unprecedented unknown physical state I was in shifted me from an ambitious upwardly mobile corporate climber and entrepreneur, to a prisoner inside my own body in constant unbearable pain. I was dependant on 13 different medications to somehow stabilize symptoms and mental depreciations I had absolutely no control over. Nothing made it better; only worse. As I laid going blind in my bed my only concern was not for my own welfare but that of my 10 year old child, that had only me in the world to ensure her survival.The only thing I believed and knew could help me was God; so I prayed. I asked the Lord, "Father I can accept being paralyzed and living out my days in a wheelchair. But Father I need to be able to see so I may continue to look after my daughter. Please allow me to keep my eyesight so I may somehow, someway provide for her.Soon after my eyesight began to come back. Two years later I regained the ability to walk again with assistance. However what I realized most was that it was not just my body that the Lord had restored, but He had healed my soul. He had shown me that Faith in Him was more tangible than breathing oxygen.I serve with like-minded individuals because I have found without a doubt that giving holds 10 times more satisfaction to ones spirit than receiving. In fact the feeling can’t be numerically quantified.I was so over whelmed to learn I received this gift from Yearly Angels. It’s so funny that The Founder knew that about me because when she said Yearly Angels was giving me the $1000 gift my first thought was how it could help some folks. Her next statement was I had to use it only on my own bills. No one has ever done anything like this before for me. The shock of it was overwhelming. For a minute there I thought I was going to need to take a Xanax to calm down. I was also thankful and amazed that I had been nominated by two people I love dearly. To know that someone loves you enough to care how you're going to be able to pay your bills is the type of love we sometimes only receive from our parents. When a glimmer of light shines down on you from surprise places it resuscitates your hope for humanity. Yes, I will take these funds and pay my bills that are past being overdue.I want to thank Yearly Angels and all the donors who shared their blessings with me. Who broke bread with me so this soldier will continue to live to fight another day? Trust me you will not be without your gift for long, because the Father we serve will restore it and multiply it back to you very soon."
“The contributions to deserving individuals made by Yearly Angels are key in maintaining hope and peace in the lives of MS Center patients. The physical, emotional and societal impact of Multiple Sclerosis is only lessened when the patient has support from their physician, family and community. The program developed by Yearly Angels reminds MS Center patients that others are here for them as they continue to fight this incurable disease.”
