Message from the Executive Director Bob Policastro

This past year, Angela's House continued to help over 400 children in the community that are medically fragile, chronically ill or living with a life threatening illness. This includes the children living in our two homes and the children living with their parents in the community.

The support we gracious received from the community has been amazing. When you see this newsletter and the people supporting us, it gives us great pride. This support helps us to spread the word that these children are in our neighborhoods. This is very important because when insurance will not cover items, we look to use donations to help cover it. We also use funds raised to help new families that are referred to us that have no support in place.

Angela's House III

gets the approval to be built. This great news will allow us to help more families caring for their children in a warm, loving environment with 24-hour nursing care. This new home will help to bring children back to New York currently being cared for out of state or in hospitals. This home will also care for ventilator dependent children.

In these economic difficult times, we feel fortunate to be able to create this new home and to help more families. This a dream come true but we realize we cannot do this alone. We realize this home will be very expensive to build. We appreciate your continued support as we take on this monumental project.
