Angel Foundation was founded in 2001 as a Minnesota-based non-profit charitable organization dedicated to our mission of improving the quality of life throughout the cancer experience. Financial Assistance is provided to help cancer patients and their families with basic non-medical needs and necessities not covered by insurance, such as housing utilities, food, and other living expenses. Angel Foundation also provides a support and education program, Facing Cancer Together (FaCT), for families who have a parent with cancer. FaCT is free of charge to families to help them gain understanding, strength and hope as they journey through the cancer experience together.Animal Love and Loss Network (AALN)

As the first independent RN Patient Advocate in the state of Minnesota, I eliminate confusion regarding people's medical conditions and diagnoses, and help them investigate a wider range of treatment options. I supply that extra information, education, and expertise that can make a world of difference in people's overall health, but which our present health care system just isn't equipped to provide. Our Medical Advocacy services help with pre-surgery, in-hospital, and post-op situations, but also with demystifying the doctor's office experience, researching and explaining new diagnoses and options, and helping find new providers and specialists. Senior Solutions promote independence and safety while reducing strain on the family. With Family Respite we can help with tough health decisions, we provide a professional presence during family care conferences, and facilitate communication with all involved health care providers and family members.
