Angels Against Abuse (“Angels”) was created by a small group of visionaries who saw a need to provide assistance to children beyond the scope of basic services covered by the foster care system. Most often, these children are removed forcibly from their homes due to abuse, and they are placed in the care of agency housing or private foster homes. The experience is traumatic, and the children often leave with nothing but the clothes on their backs. The Angels team set out to help these kids by -providing goods and services not covered by the foster care system; -helping to reduce the trauma of home removal; -trying to create as many traditional childhood experiences for these children living in non-traditional conditions; and -working with children and families to stop the cycle of abuse.
