December 23rd, 2017

You will not want to miss the January Meeting. You will be hearing feedback from our community partners for our Christmas Giving Program. We have another BIG year ahead and lots to do. Let’s start off the new year with a GREAT attendance. We will be sharing lots of news!

Thank you Mastry Brewery Company, Matthew and Danie Dahm!

The Winter Solstice was a huge success! It was a beautiful event and the weather was perfect from start to finish. Thank you to all the vendors, patrons and Angels for supporting this event that will put smiles on the faces of children and youth in our community who have little to smile about. There were hundreds of amazing gifts donated that were delivered to Directions for Living for Christmas Morning that will put magic in the lives of these children.

WE COULD NOT HAVE DONE THIS WITHOUT YOU!

Special thanks to the following organizations and businesses who participated in hundreds of toys donated to Directions for Living: Mastry Brewery Company, Pure Barr Clearwater, Vitality Wellness Center and Angels Against Abuse Inc

I would like to quote a message from Damia Kelly that will give you a little insight as to what these gifts mean to these children.

On behalf of Directions for Living, thank you for your donations that benefited our agency, Directions for Living, which is part of the Christmas Giving Program of Angels Against Abuse, Inc. My name is Damia Kelly, and I am the Assistant Director of the Largo Center for Directions for Living.

“Another year has come and gone and Angels have yet again outdone themselves with the depth of giving they have provided to our community children during the 2017 holiday season. Their magic dust will be transcended to a magical Christmas morning for hundreds of children on December 25th. Without the Angels theses children would be left wondering if Santa forgot about them. Thank you to every single Angel that made this miracle possible for many children who are facing some of the darkest days of their little lives. While you may not be able to see this magical experience on Christmas morning please no there are many smiling faces and happy hearts because of you.”

Merry Christmas Angels
Have a wonderful and Blessed Christmas and thanks for all you do to make a difference in the lives of the children and youth we advocate for 24/7…

I am truly blessed to have such an amazing team of Angels with such generous hearts.

I will see you next year!

Thank you, Sandy Kearney
