Our Mission
Abbie's Angels is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit created to surround caregivers and families in our community with practical help, encouragement, and connection as they navigate complex medical needs with their differently abled children.
Through events, resources, and partnerships with local organizations, we aim to make sure no caregiver feels alone in their hardest seasons.
What We Do
Caregiver Support
Helping families find the right resources during and after a medical crisis, from parking and meal expenses to in-home support services, and equipment. This way they spend less time searching and more time caring.
Events & Gatherings
Host annual events like our Meat Raffle Fundraiser and Winter Gala to celebrate families, raise awareness, and sustain support programs throughout the year.
Community Outreach
Partner with local hospitals, schools, organizations, and businesses to reach caregivers who need encouragement, financial assistance, and connection to specialized services.
