The final countdown has begun. We are now in the last week of the Art Van Charity Challenge and there’s one bonus challenge left.

Since the Challenge began four weeks ago we’ve raised over $9,100 but we still have work to do to make it into the top ten and win the Art Van grant. Of course all the money we raise will directly help fund Angela Hospice’s compassionate grief support services for children and adults.

 The final bonus challenge will run until 1:59 p.m. on June 22, which is also when the Challenge ends. Every charity that raises at least $100 this week will be entered for a chance to win $1,000. Every charity that raises at least $400 will be entered for a chance to win $4,000. So your donation can translate into a big prize for Angela Hospice!

This is the last week to donate to our CrowdRise page, so please click here, and also share this link with your friends and family: https://www.crowdrise.com/ahhc-artvan2015

And a reminder: all donations must be made through our CrowdRise page in order to count towards the Challenge.

Thank you to everyone that has supported Angela Hospice during this Challenge, whether by donating, becoming fundraisers, or sharing our CrowdRise page. We simply couldn’t fund programs like our grief counseling and support groups without your generous help.

If you can make a donation again today to help us during this final week, we would be so grateful! We’ll keep you all updated after the Challenge is officially over and tell you how we did.

For now, we’ll leave you with this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jK-NcRmVcw

A Room for Brian

   Angela Hospice's donor-supported Care Center     provided Brian with the care he needed -- and        brought his family peace of mind. The Angela Hospice Care Center has always been a community-driven labor of love. From its construction in the early 1990s; to its expansion a decade and a half later; and right through to the present, where day-to-day operations are supported by the generosity of donors and friends – the Care Center is a rare and valuable community resource made possible by Angela Hospice’s caring supporters. It’s also a godsend for families like the Wilson’s. When their son came to stay with them over Christmas last year, the brain tumor he had been determined to fight for nearly 11 years began to overcome him. At 30 years old, Brian was 6’2” and his disease had progressed to the point that he could no longer walk on his own. How would his parents take care of him in their home that was not wheelchair accessible? The Angela Hospice Care Center prov

Name: Ingrid Lasley How long have you been a volunteer? I started volunteering about 2 ½ years ago. What areas do you work in/what sort of tasks do you do as a volunteer? I cover the receptionist desk for lunch hours, which includes telephone calls. I have covered Tree of Life shifts for the past 2 years and plan to volunteer again this season. I also have been involved in numerous mailings and last year’s Walk of Remembrance. What made you decide to become a volunteer? I stopped working a few years ago and decided I could use my spare time best by volunteering. I am enjoying every minute! Why Angela Hospice? Ingrid with fellow volunteer Geri Orlowski My mother passed away in 2012 in Buffalo, NY, and after witnessing the treatment my mother received at a hospice facility there, I knew I wanted to be part of such a kind and caring group. What is your favorite part about volunteering? I have enjoyed meeting so many people who have demonstrated so many ways one can g

Sweet, Precious Time

Debbie Bennett was called to be a steadfast wife to husband Thomas and a devoted mother to their  children, Christopher, Kelly, and Robin. She has relied on God to get through the hard times her family has faced, and has been grateful that Angela Hospice was there too, when she really needed support. Robin & Chris In 1989, at the age of 12, Christopher, her oldest child, was diagnosed with a rare neurological disease called Friedreich's Ataxia (FA). Chris was a smart and funny music-lover, and accomplished artist who was beloved by his family and many friends. By his junior year in high school, he began to use a wheelchair. As with many diseases of the nervous system, there has never been a cure or effective treatment for FA. Debbie and her family enlisted Angela Hospice's help to care for Chris before he passed away in 2004. He was just 26 years old. "I didn't know what to expect...hospice comes in and does so much more than care for a sick person, they
