Axel's Angels

Axel's Angels Axel's Angels mission is to bring joy to children battling childhood cancer and have long-term hospital stays or clinic visits. Axel's Angels is my brainchild.

A special toy, stuffed animal or book to brighten an otherwise cloudy day. Axel's Angels, founded in October of 2020, is a charity for the sole purpose of bringing smiles to the faces of our mightiest warriors: our children. So many children have been diagnosed with cancer and many spend countless days and months in the hospital and then have countless clinic visits afterward. These children go t

hrough something we can not even wrap our brains around, yet they take it in stride. I founded this charity in the loving memory of my boy, Axel Jace Ouellette, who bravely and mightily fought Acute Myeloid Leukemia for two years. Sadly, on September 15, 2019, he lost his battle, but never stopped fighting, not even for a second. During his many hospital stays, he would be able to choose a prize from the closet on the Hem/Onc floor at CCMC, after a stressful procedure. The prizes to choose from were not always desirable and many times he took something just to get something, but the disappointment was obvious. In his words, "the prize closet on MS8 sucks" so it is my hope that through Axel's Angels, we can provide MS8 (the cancer floor at Connecticut Children's Medical Center or "CCMC"), with toys, books, crafts, stuffed animals, video games, movies, or whatever else will bring a smile to the faces, or children who are away from home and their own toys. No more disappointed faces because they can't find anything they like. Our children are going through the biggest, fiercest, most challenging battle of their lives. Donate today, and help Axel's Angels bring joy to our mightiest warriors, one smile at a time.

We are in the home stretch of our Jammie Drive! Only three more weeks to collect donations and we are doing awesome!
We have business and schools on board and I feel as though this is going to be the biggest PJ Donation CCMC has ever seen! There will be enough for all the children at the hospital, not just MS8 (Hem/Onc)!
My heart is happy!

If anyone has any questions please feel free to send a message and I'll respond as quickly as I can!

Thank you all!

Hi all!

We have received some very generous donations but are still in need of some pre paid visa cards, tafreg, walmart, etc. I'll be delivering to families at the end of next week so let's work together and help these parents give their warriors the Christmas they deserve!
I will pick up any donations if you are local. If you mail any check, PLEASE remember to make out to ME.....I am not set up yet to cash checks made out to Axel's Angels.
Thank you all for your generosity!

Hi All -

I have received a few donations so far and I would appreciate it so very much if you would put your full name and address with the donation so that I can make sure I thank you? I have received a couple with just first initials and last names and while there is an address, its very impersonal to send a thank you to a letter!😎

I just received a wonderful donation from Paradis Pools! This will help so many that are stuck in the hospital over Christmas!
Thank you so much!

Hi All! Due to COVID restrictions, I can't donate any physical items for inpatient families at Christmas. Instead, what I would like to see happen with your help, is to collect enough gift cards to pass out to families to help make their child's wishes come true for Christmas.

Closer to the holiday I will have a list of families that will be spending their Christmas at CCMC and should have a good idea as to what their child's wish is. I hope to pass out enough gift cards to offset the cost enough to be able to get what their child would like to have.

Please keep in mind the caregivers (parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc) as well - a small token during the holidays can bring a smile to their faces as well.

I know that there may be families in-patient who do not celebrate Christmas but that isn't going to stop Axel's Angels from caring enough to spread holiday cheer. A gift card can purchase a nice dinner, provide gas for the many trips back and forth from the hospital, or even some necessities for their extended stay with their child.

Options for gift cards to purchase gifts for children are Walmart, Target and pre-paid MC or Visa cards. For caregivers, the above cards, and also Mobile gas cards, J's Restaurant in Hartford, CT (Across from the hospital and they deliver), Dunkin Donuts, Starbucks, Shop Rite and Stop and Shop gift cards.

If you would like to donate now, rather than waiting until closer to Christmas, please remember, in the eyes of the IRS I am NOT tax-deductible.......Please send any donations to Axel's Angels, C/O PO Box 523, Plainville, CT 06062. If you are local, please send a message to arrange pick up or delivery!

Thank you everyone for helping make Axel's Angels part of helping bring joy to the faces of our mightiest warriors, one smile at a time!
