Angels Among Us has been effective serving families with a child suffering from cancer and related treatments. We run the organization with one paid staff and the rest of us volunteer many hours to assure the financial stability is preserved for years to come. The many testimonials families have written and first hand seeing these families confirms we are addressing a big need in our community. It has been an honor and blessing working with Angels Among Us.

It has been my honor to serve as a board member for Angles Among Us since 2011. Working with a talented group of board members combined with the positive impact we can make to the lives of families with a child battling cancer is very gratifying. Our organization operates lean with very low overhead which allows us to maximize our monies raised and benefit as many families as possible. Angles Among Us will continue to strive to reduce the financial burden on these families and allow them to focus their attention on their child.

I've had the honor of serving as a board member for Angels Among Us (www.myangelsamongus.org) for multiple years now. The thing that first drew me to the organization was that it was truly a grassroots organization which grew out of someones personal experience, that knew the financial hardships families with children being treated for cancer face.
At the time I joined the board, Angels was helping 4 families. Since that time the organization has grown, become more financially stable and now helps approximately 30 families at any one time. The ability to ease their financial burden a little bit and focus their minds and hearts on their children is priceless. Unfortunately the need for our help never goes away and we always have a waiting list of families to assist.

I was honored to join the board in 2011 and am grateful to be part of such an amazing organization. We appreciate all of the support provided by the community to help assist these families in need. By providing financial assistance to families that have a child battling cancer, you are helping soften the burden these families face. I have seen the impact this organization makes on families and am thankful to be a part of it and look forward a bright future for Angels Among Us.

I have been fortunate enough to serve as a member of the board for Angels Among Us for the past four years and I couldn't think of a better organization to be involved with. The overall goal of Angels is to financially assist families who have a child battling cancer being treated in Nebraska and throughout the past few years I've seen Angels change from a very small local organization to one that is now assisting families in many states. Being able to see that every bit of money that is raised by Angels is positively making an impact on a family's life in their time of need is inspiring. Oftentimes, these families have to go from being dual income families down to just one or no income due to the child's rigorous treatment schedule, so everything helps. Experiencing a child with cancer is something no parent should have to go through, but to be able to help these families when it does happen is an amazing thing...and Angels Among Us' main goal is to do just that.

I have had a pleasure of serving on the board of directors for this great organization who helps financially support families of children being treated for cancer in Nebraska. The organization pays bills directly to the families creditors and makes a major impact in their lives. These are families who are struggling financially. While still a very young organization (formed in 2006), the organization has already help support over 130 families and paid out over $650,000 in financial assistant. The future looks very good for continued growth and sustainability for Angels Among Us as they look to reduce some of the financial burden so parents can focus more of their attention on their child.
