Everyday Angels

As we deck the halls, hang mistletoe and trim the tree, we ask ourselves how we can celebrate the true spirit of the holidays. Remember the reason for the season through simple ways to create a deeper connection with your community.

The final month of the year is a good time for reflection. The people we’ve met this year, and the brave stories they’ve shared, serve as a reminder that we are not really in control. Despite our best laid plans, circumstances can quickly derail our lives, as we are forced into situations we are not prepared for, changing our year and our life story.

Everyday Angels would like to recap some of the year’s features, and will continue to receive donations in support of them. We love surprising these members of our community with unexpected donations. With no overhead costs, salaries or expenses, Everyday Angels will continue to send 100% of your donation to the family you specify.

We ask that you continue to pray for these sweet families. We wish you and your family a wonderful, safe and healthy holiday!

In January, Bella Kirby’s cancer battle inspired us as we watched an innocent baby girl turn into a warrior.

South Cherokee Recreation Association (SCRA) and the community rallied and cheered around this sweet baby and family. We are heartbroken, as Bella will spend

Christmas in the arms of Jesus. “We are and always will be #Bellastrong!” said mom, Christina.

Amidst the loss of two amazing young moms, Brianna Lee and Chasity Schug, we were reminded of the fragility of life, and we can only hope that we can be as impactful as these two beautiful souls. It is evident that our community truly loved these sweet moms and their families. We thank you for all you have done throughout the year to help them through Above, Chasity Schug.

In March, Bill Redmond’s leisurely lunchtime motorcycle ride turned tragic when he was T-boned by a vehicle. The year has been filled with surgeries, setbacks and rehab, but we are thankful for progress and pray for full recovery.

Caspian Moore, another young cancer warrior, continues his aggressive treatments. “Caspian is currently finishing up his last round, and is a rockstar, per usual,” said mom, Helen.

In October, Jenny Pickens shared her breast cancer journey. She continues chemotherapy to prepare for surgery this winter.

Last month, we shared the story of Orlando Quick, who was struck by a vehicle while on his evening walk. He and his family have a long year ahead, with relentless rehab.
