Our Programs were only possible with your support.
Romans 8:28
“And we know that all things work together
for good to those who love God, to those who are
called according to His purpose."
The heart of this ministry entailed four programs only made possible through generous
support of our community supporters, churches and volunteers.
The many gifts we were able to distribute
because of our generous supporters.

Angel Book Gifts
The Chaplain Patrick Jinks, the Coordinator of Spiritual Care and Bereavement at Prisma Children's Hospital, created with Brenda Muntean an "Angel Book Memorial" in honor of Bella's love of God and wanting to spread the gospel, for the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) and Children's Hospital.
NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) Angel Books: The spiritual books in Bella’s memory are given to families who have babies in this unit at the hospital. While they are often limited in their ability to hold their babies, they are encouraged to bond through reading Bible stories, songs, and prayers.

Angel Gifts Program
Bella's Impact
In 2017, when Bella began this charity (before our official non-profit status)
over $10,000 dollars was donated in gifts, gift cards, pillowcases, Bibles and religious items, impacting thousands of children and their families.
Bella's Reach
We were blessed to give the majority of our donations to many families throughout the state of South Carolina. Plus, we sent donations to North Carolina, New Jersey, California, Illinois, Texas, and Ohio.Also, to other countries including Thailand, Romania and Canada. Our goal was to help as many children as possible in spreading the love of God and hope through our many gifts.
Bella's Endurance
Bella's faith and her commitment was strong. She NEVER missed a month of her pillowcase gift delivery - even during the last month of her life when she was in HOSPICE.
All it takes is one person, no matter how small the idea or gift to make a difference. Let's ALL be like Bella!
