Support Angela Hospice On #GivingTuesday

-

Do you love to give and help others? Then participate in #GivingTuesday on Tuesday, November 29, the day after Cyber Monday!

So what can you do on this international day of giving? We have a few ideas:
  • Take an #UNselfie. Show the world why Angela Hospice means so much to you. Download this flyer and post it on social media. Be sure to tag us on Facebook and Twitter so we can put your photo in our #UNselfie album!
  • Give your time. Help out a neighbor in need or volunteer. 
  • Donate money to your favorite charity, like Angela Hospice, which you can donate to here. 
  • Write a wonderful review. Organizations depend on kind words from people like you to help spread the word about what we do. Write a review about Angela Hospice. 
Those are just a few ideas for what you could do on #GivingTuesday! It doesn't matter what exactly you do, what matters is that you give in some way. Let us know how you plan on participating!

#GivingTuesday started in 2012 when the New York's 92nd Street Y was inspired by the core Jewish value of tikkun olam, which means, “repairing the world." Now, a few short years later, there are over 30,000 partners participating in 68 countries, including us.

If you have any questions, please contact Dana Casadei at (734) 953-6053 or email dcasadei@angelahospice.us.

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? ...

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 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?

Detroit Catholic Central Moms Celebrate Hospice Workers During COVID-19

A group of Detroit Catholic Central High School moms decided they wanted to do something special for our clinical staff, who have been working so hard in the midst of this stressful COVID-19 health crisis. The women coordinated with nurse Kelly Campbell, Home Care Clinical Supervisor for Angela Hospice, whose son recently graduated from Catholic Central. On Wednesday, the group set up 40 handmade signs outside our Care Center facility and along the driveway, to encourage and cheer our healthcare workers. They also tied big white ribbons around the trees to show support for front-line medical staff. Helen Balmforth, Angela Hospice Development and Special Events Manager, related that some staff members teared up when they saw what the Catholic Central moms had done. “I think, for some, it’s an emotional release to see that,” Helen explained. “I think it has a real impact on people.” The group also brought two large cases of toilet paper. Each roll is individually wrapped so staff...
