Programs: Abby's angels foundation psalm 91:11 for he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. Abby's angels foundation was founded in august 2013 to forever honor and remember our angel abby bacho. Abby gave the greatest gift - the gift of life. Abby was a very effervescent and compassionate 9 year old. She was always keeping extremely busy. Even today, we believe that abby is running the show, keeping the foundation very busy, but we wouldn't want it any other way. God truly has an angel by his side that is guiding us in our mission to help others. Abby's closet, in the spirit of abby's desire to be a teacher, was created. Shopping for new school supplies brought about some excitement, curosity, and the wonderment of learning. There are currently 43 operational closets - 28 in coweta county, 6 in carroll county, 3 in heard county, 1 in fayette county, 1 in the auburn area, 1 in texas, and 3 in our hometown of west virginia. The space is designated to stock required supplies for each grade, and some funky stuff too. The students in need are identified by a teacher or guidance counselor. They are discreetly taken to abby's closet to get any supplies that they might need or want. We have only one requirement - the students that can benefit from "abby's closet" never feel outcast or needy. The purpose is for them to feel like they belong. We are constantly receiving letters from guidance counselors about the children who have visited abby's closet. We are also partnering with angels house, an emergency home in newnan, ga for young teenage girls. We are supplying all that they would need for school. Abby's bracelets, what started as a way to raise funds for abby's angels foundation, has now taken on a meaning of its own. Children, men, and women alike, to honor their love of abby, proudly wear abby's bracelets. These bracelets, handmade by family and dear friends, are a sign of faith and people are sharing this message with others. Wear it - share it. Wearing your bracelet and then literally taking it off your arm and giving it to someone who is in need of comfort, encouragement, or hope. We have just recently begun to hear testament from drivers who have reached out for something while driving and stopped beacuse of abby's bracelet on their wrist. We were most humbly honored by nefertenus mcpherson, a liver receipent, who wore abby's bracelets on the donate life float for the rose bowl parade. She was a remarkable advocate for donate life.
