Clarification
To be clear, this program is not intended for the families that are in a crisis, emergent safety situation. There are other programs to help with the immediate, safe place to go situations. Recommended programs are the YWCA Gateway house and MRMWomen’s Shelter.
The overall community need is very great. Sadly, even as we are building this program, we are getting requests from immediate need families. Our hearts and prayers go out to these families on their journey.
Our Focus
This program is for single working moms with little to no financial or emotional support. She is fighting the battle to make the world a better place for her children. She falls thru the cracks and needs the help of other available programs, but doesn’t qualify. She still needs the help and support.
We will be working with individual families for 2 years, focusing on their family’s strengths and challenges, encouraging and empowering them with new tools to better their future. We feel that providing a quality, hands on approach for each family to make ongoing life changes a reality is the best strategy.
Families coming to Angel’s Wing will undergo an interview process to ensure they are truly ready to make the 2 year commitment to do the hard work to take their lives in a better direction.

Some Disqualifications

- Felons deemed dangerous will not be admitted into the Angel’s Wing program.
- Anyone deemed dangerous while in the program will be required to leave.
Once our families graduate, we have no doubt they will be sharing what they have learned with others. This will create a ripple effect, reaching even more families.
