On behalf of Angels Against Abuse, we would like to invite you to attend the 10th Annual Child Advocacy Expo!
The vision of this event continues to be focused on bringing together local agencies, charities and organizations involved in the child welfare system for a morning of networking and information sharing. It is our hope to have all major players involved in this event which is why we are specifically requesting your participation. The Angels feel strongly about collaborating our efforts working as a TEAM to accomplish more for the children we advocate for. Together we can truly make a difference in their lives with teamwork…
We will start the morning with a meet and greet of the local agencies visiting each of their tables to learn more about what is going on in our community for the children and youth we advocate for. Any newcomers will have the opportunity to introduce themselves to the group at the podium for a two-minute talk about their mission. To allow you to meet the people representing each of the organizations, the morning presentation will be followed by booth-time so that attendees can share materials about their organization. For every community partner attending, there will be one ticket per table given for an opportunity to receive a $500 donation from the Angels. These tickets will be provided at check-in. You must have a table assignment to be eligible.
If you plan to attend the Expo, please visit our website to register and follow the link to register. If you are attending as a guest or student, please register as well so we know how many attendees will be participating. Please feel free to contact Sandy Kearney or Nicole Spinelli with any questions.

ANGELS CHRISTMAS GIVING
It is getting close to that time of year where the Angels make magic for hundreds of children who need a little magic in their lives, the children we advocate for 24/7. For many of these children we give them a day to remember for years to come and HOPE for a better tomorrow. We make Christmas and in order to do that, we need your help! Even though it is only October Christmas will be here in the blink of an eye and their is a lot of preparation and plans to make this magic happen….
ANGELS ON THE MOVE
ANGEL CORNER
EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT BABY COURT
PINELLAS COUNTY COURTHOUSE
To: Angels Against Abuse
From: The Honorable Judge Todd, Early Childhood Court
Angels Against Abuse wanted to give back by creating a space for children and families within Early Childhood Court to have positive interactions while at court waiting for hearings and Family Team Meetings. The Angel’s Corner will allow families to have a warm, safe, fun environment to see and play with their children. Equipped with movies, books, and sensory toys as well as beautiful colors and an inspirational theme and the Angel’s Corner helps to encourage this positive interaction. Early Childhood Court is a specialty court within the 6th Judicial Circuit, that serves families involved in the Dependency System with children ages 0-5, using a trauma informed, child centered approach. Early Childhood Court recognizes that any opportunity for children to have a quality interaction with their parent works to secure the bond and attachment that they share and increases the likelihood for reunification and timely permanency for the children that we serve. Thank you so much to the Angels for sprinkling your dust over the children and families at the Courthouse

DIRECTIONS FOR LIVING – TAMPA LOCATION
A message from April – I felt more excited than I anticipated – it is simply beautiful. It is even more than I had hoped for and accomplished my goal of the room feeling like there were several different spaces to visit all with in the same room!
I will never be able to thank the Angels enough for what they have done and for being such a wonderful support to me and the children we serve. I have asked myself “what have I done to deserve the angels?” And I have asked myself “where have the Angels been all my life”.
Your Angels are true angels – and I am grateful everyday for all your organization does for children!:

Thank you to The Broadrick Family Foundation for your support to the Angels. It is only thanks to your generosity that the Angel Resource Room is stocked for the many requests that come our way for the children and youth we advocate for every day. The Angels give HOPE for a better tomorrow and if it weren’t for individuals and organizations like the Broadrick Family Foundation, we would be unable to make the difference that we make. Thank you for helping us to help them!

A BIG THANK YOU FROM THE PINELLAS COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE, CPI DIVISION, FOR PROVIDING TABLETS TO OUR CHILDREN. THIS HAS BEEN SUCH A TREAT FOR THE TIME THESE CHILDREN HAVE TO BE IN TRANSIT WITH NOTHING TO DO. FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS, THANK YOU…
The tablets Angels donated have been so helpful. We had to transport a child to a relative in Miami yesterday and it kept her happy and entertained during the 4 hour drive. We also have a low functioning autistic child on another case who loves to use it during visits. Before bringing out the tablet, he was hitting the walls and himself, part of his typical behaviors. Please let Sandy know they are going to good use. J

YOU WON’T WANT TO MISS THIS EVENT!
Each of us can look back upon someone who made a great difference in our lives, often a teacher or a volunteer whose wisdom or simple acts of caring made an impression. In all likelihood, it was someone who sought no recognition for their deed other than the joy of knowing that, by their hand, another’s life had been made better. God Bless our Volunteers!
