Milestones
Be An Angel Fund has raised over seven and a half million dollars as it celebrates twenty-three years of service.  These funds have been used to purchase custom-built wheelchairs, hearing aids and other adaptive equipment; construct barrier-free playgrounds; provide thousands of area children with gifts during the holiday seasons; send children to summer camp; provide respite care and support so many other wonderful programs that help enrich the lives of the children we serve.
Be An Angel Fund has constructed twenty-two barrier-free playgrounds in HISD and surrounding school districts, including Montgomery, Humble and Katy ISD, offering safe and reliable recreation to thousands of area children.  These specially designed playgrounds allow handicapped children to play alongside their able-bodied peers. We dedicated Texas’ largest barrier-free playground in August 2006 at Lindsay Lyons Park in Humble, Texas (a $500,000 project).
In 2009, Be An Angel provided Summer Respite School Care to over 150 multiply impaired children and this program continues to grow. Alternatives for Angels is a pilot program providing skilled care for medically fragile children with multiple disabilities in their homes. This care allows parents the freedom to leave the home to attend to errands, appointments, and other activities.
Be An Angel provided over 3,695 handicapped children from 262 schools in 15 school districts with gifts during the Holiday Gift Program 2008.
Be An Angel Fund has provides summer camp tuitions for hundreds of area children who suffer from multiple handicapping conditions and profound deafness. Attending summer camp gives these special children the opportunity to continue developing their skills outside of the home and classroom environments. We host Camp Be An Angel; providing a camping environment not only for the children we serve, but their siblings and parents too! Moreover, Be An Angel underwrites Camp Sign – a special camp for deaf children all over Texas.
Be An Angel gifted a MEDIA LITERACY LAB and CENTER to T.H. Rogers School.  We were the 1999 recipient of the prestigious International Association of Petroleum Producers’ George and Barbara Bush Excellence in Education Grant which opened Fall, 2001.  The state of the art television broadcast studio allows handicapped children and profoundly deaf children to collaborate with their able-bodied peers in the writing, production and closed-captioning of film documentaries.
In 1994, Be An Angel Fund completed the construction of a $1.2 million hydrotherapy complex and pool that has been used for over ten years to provide greatly needed physical therapy to numerous medically fragile children.
