Angel's Hope

01/25/2026

When grief feels overwhelming, your nervous system can stay stuck in survival mode — even when you’re safe. 🤍
Gentle grounding can help bring you back into the present moment and remind your body that it’s okay to breathe again.

You don’t have to feel better.
You don’t have to have it all together.
Feeling just a little more steady is enough for today.

Save this for when things feel heavy, and come back to it whenever you need.
You’re not alone here. 💛

As we approach the end of the year, we know there are so many incredible organizations doing meaningful work — and we are grateful for every one of them. 💙

If you feel led to invest in this work, your generosity helps ensure that the Hope & Healing Retreat can continue for years to come — offering rest, connection, and gentle healing to moms who have experienced an unimaginable loss.

For these mothers, the world often keeps moving while theirs feels like it has stopped. The retreat creates sacred space to breathe again, to be understood without explanation, and to carry their child’s love forward alongside others who truly get it.

Every donation — no matter the size — helps cover retreat costs, keeps this program sustainable, and makes it possible for more moms to say yes to healing without worrying about finances.

If this mission speaks to your heart, we would be honored to have your support as we close out the year. Your gift keeps hope alive and reminds grieving mothers that they are not alone.
🤍
Thank you for helping us carry this work forward. There are several ways you can give.

We’re down to the final stretch, and I’m getting so excited hearing from the moms—confirming arrival plans, choosing their activities, and letting themselves feel a little hope again.

But we are still $700 short of our goal for the Hope & Healing Retreat.

If I can’t raise the remaining amount, I’ll need to cover the difference myself—and that will be really difficult. I don’t want finances to stand in the way of giving these grieving moms the rest and healing they desperately need.

If you feel led, please donate. Anything helps.
If you can’t give, please share this post.

It’s easy to get caught up in logistics and forget to pause and remember how the Hope & Healing Retreat even began. After losing Angel, I quickly realized there wasn’t much out there for moms like me — moms who were grieving, overwhelmed, and trying to survive a world that felt completely different overnight. I was broken, lost, and more alone than I had ever been, despite having some amazing friends who lived the nightmare with me.

But I knew the only people who could truly understand were other moms who had experienced the same kind of loss. This retreat was born from my desperate need for a space to breathe, grieve, and simply keep living without Angel. Creating it has helped me survive some of the hardest days of my life. It has given me a community of moms who understand grief in a way no one else can. It has brought incredible volunteers who show up with time, talent, and love to make this retreat possible. And it has given me hope and healing to keep going, one step at a time. If I’m honest … the retreat started as a completely selfish act. 😊

Each year, raising funds gets harder, but I won’t give up. We have amazing supporters, and somehow the money always comes through (even if it arrives days before the moms do!). Just yesterday, thanks to a few kind hearts, we raised $300. That means we are now just $700 away from fully funding the retreat and ensuring every grieving mom can attend without any financial burden.

If you feel led, please donate. Every dollar matters and every dollar brings hope to a grieving mom. And if you can’t give today, sharing this post means just as much. 💛

Thank you for helping us love these moms and providing just a small bit of hope.

We are a little over a month away from the Hope & Healing Retreat for bereaved moms, and we are still $1,000 short of our goal.

I know it’s the holidays, and giving is everywhere right now. But if you are planning your end-of-year charitable gifts and want to make a meaningful impact, please consider donating to Angel’s Hope.

Your support helps provide a safe space, restorative care, community, and healing to moms who have experienced the unimaginable. 💛

Every dollar helps us wrap these women in love, compassion, and hope when they need it most.

Today is Angel’s 28th Birthday. 💛🎂

It’s one of those mornings where I have to push through the heaviness just to breathe, but even through the pain, I’m so eager to celebrate her — her love, her light, her laughter, her impact. This day will always hurt, but it will always be beautiful too, because she made this world better in every way.

And today is also a big day for our $28 for Angel’s 28th campaign.
So far this month, we’ve raised almost $300 — and I am so grateful.

Every single gift feels like a little spark of her still shining through.
But we’re still $1,700 away from our goal.

And when you break it down… that’s just 61 people giving $28.

61 people saying, “Angel’s light continues.”
61 people helping us bring hope to grieving mothers who desperately need it.
61 people helping us carry her legacy forward in the most meaningful way.

On her birthday, nothing would mean more.

If Angel touched your life …
If her story inspires you …
If you believe in giving moms a place to breathe, connect, and heal …
Please consider donating $28 in honor of her 28th.
Every dollar goes directly toward the Angel's Hope Hope & Healing Retreat — created in her memory and carried by her spirit.

Thank you for helping me honor my girl today. Even on the hardest days, hope finds its way through—because she still lives in everything we do.

Day 13✨ 24 Days of Hope

Angel dreamed of changing the world with love, peace, and understanding. She poured her heart into everyone she met — especially her fellow cancer warriors.

She wrote this poem for them … for the fighters she knew and those who would come after her. I can feel her in every word — her love, her courage, her hope. 🌈

That same hope now lives on through the Hope & Healing Retreat, where grieving moms find the comfort, connection, and peace Angel always wanted others to have. 💛

In 11 days we will celebrate my girl's 28th Heavenly birthday. Please consider giving $28 for Angel’s 28th to help her light continue shining through the healing of others.

We’re just $2,000 away from fully funding this year’s Hope & Healing Retreat for bereaved moms who have lost a child to cancer — and we need your help to make it happen. 💜

Applications close this week, and the retreat is already full with a waitlist. If we can’t raise the remaining funds, we’ll have to limit spots even further — and that means turning away moms who are longing for this space of rest and renewal.

Every dollar helps cover meals, lodging, and healing workshops that give these incredible women the comfort, community, and hope they deserve.

✨ Please consider donating today so we can say yes to as many moms as possible. Donate by clicking the link below.
