Special Angel Inc

Suzanne is an amazing mentor for the kids and an inspiration through her music. Special angels help kids navigate through life’s hardships in a safe, respected, community. It is a wonderful and much needed non profit organization that will benefit today’s youth and future generations.

In my experience working with Special Angel Inc. It has been and continue to be a wonderful uplifting journey. To see the smiles of joy on the faces of people, especially the children at different facilities of the Boys and Girls Clubs and some Senior Assisted Living Residences, gives me a wonderful feeling of purpose and happiness. I love working with Special Angel Inc., simply because of that. As a 28 year recovering addict Special Angel Inc., has helped me in continunig my sobriety by being able to share with others information about pitfalls that they can avoid. Such as hanging with the wrong crowd, getting involve with drugs and alcohol and getting involved with gangs. And we do this through music. Using music as a tool to break the ice and get them talking and involved in the session. To me, there's no greater joy than to bring joy.

They do amazing outreach for kids in crisis, and have a variety of ways to reach them with music. And the kids really love them!

Special Angel is made up of unique individuals who are both talented and deeply caring people who want to help children and young people find an outlet for their pain.

They were regular volunteers at the Children of the Night shelter and our kids were always anxious to receive them, listen to their music and sing-a-long.

Whatever population of children with whom you are providing services this is a great recreational or evening activity.

Special Angel is admirable for championing the noble cause of supporting the youth at a time they’re vulnerable and in need of help. Their incorporation of music in their program has helped many to warm up and open their feelings as the first step towards healing, moving forward, and planning for a better future. It is easy to see that the young people they help become angels to their peers, family, and others in need. We hope Special Angel continues to expand and reach their goals.

This is a great nonprofit organization that is much needed in today’s society towards improving access to mental health resources. The owner is an amazing mentor and is very passionate about helping children and adolescents in need. Her gift of inspiring and motivating patients and their families to living a well balanced and healthy life through music is an inspiration.

I have had the honor of working with Special Angel since its founding. Over the years, I have witnessed and experienced its commitment, passion, and talent for leveraging music to break through the walls that troubled youth build around themselves so that they feel comfortable talking about their lives and more open to getting the support and help they need. I also was thrilled and impressed with Special Angel , building on strong local foundation in the Southwest, successfully expanded its work to the East Coast, allowing it to reach and health even more youth.

I have known Suzie and Kelly and the Special Angel band and organization since the mid 1990's. Suzie is my buddy's aunt and Kelly, his first cousin. I became aware of what Special Angel was about with their mission to bring uplifting music to youth and families experiencing problems related to alcohol and drug abuse. The band would visit a variety of venues spreading their music and message. In the early 2000's the band released a CD (Turn On The Radio) which I was asked to do the artwork for most of the album liner notes. It was a privilege to be able to work on this wonderful project with the band! They are a fantastic group of talented musicians who are bringing a wonderful uplifting message of hope, help, and healing. I will fully support them as they continue their message for future generations!!

So much music, for so many kids. Relatable and surprising for those that attend. Incredible!

This nonprofit agency uses music to help kids. Through discussing the lyrics in the songs, they encourage discussion of real life issues and ways to make positive changes that lead to healthy behavior

It is amazing how Special Angel, Inc. connects with the youth and teens in their sessions. Today’s at-risk children are exposed to so many stressors, poor or no role models, and struggling family lives that having the opportunity to sit with their peers and sing/listen to music is a fundamentally positive and uplifting experience. After connecting through song and music, the group talks about their stressors and struggles. Opening up allows the children to realize they aren’t alone and have a safe place to discuss things that are affecting them.

Suzanne Geimer, who started and runs Special Angel, is the awesome sauce that makes this organization work. Her love of people and music has nurtured the small band of mighty musicians who are the Special Angele Team. She has been the lead advocate, helping countless (1000 or more) teens who are dealing with addiction issues, navigating homelessness and the juvenile justice system to become more self-aware and understand a myriad of feelings and thoughts. Special Angel proves that caring and love win.

Thank you, Special Angel, for a beautiful message and loving actions.
Your updated website is as inspirational as your in-person events.
With the historic influx of immigrants, the youth-at-risk population has soared beyond
any US Census data's predictions. Special Angel is certainly serving an important need with
many demands. The shelters and agencies you visits are surely glad for
to share your joy with their young folk as well as their staff.

Special Angel is a great organization. The folks really help children and families suffering with problems associated with drugs and alcohol and lead them to make better decisions.

Helping youth navigate the ups and downs of their lives is one of the most important things we can do. They are our future. Special Angel has shown time and agin that they understand how to reach our young people and help when they’re most in need.
They’ve saved many lives and will continue to make a difference.
Thank you Special Angel, Inc.

I can't say enough about this organization!!!! Our Teens are our future - Special Angel helps in securing that future!!!!

I have know Suzee , the founder, for over 60 years.
She has dedicated her life to helping others as a nurse in the emergency room for 55 years plus while using every free moment left in her day to follow her dream of singing . She found a way to use her special talent to create this nonprofit to help children in need. I have never been surprised at her generosity of those in need for I remember her adopting and giving her hard earned money to hungry children in foreign countries. God Bless this very special lady and my friend.

I have been greatly impressed by the response of Children to music of the Special Angel program. Music is a healing conductor in reaching the Children to respond to listening and therefore be more open to communication. Getting their attention to communicate is key to new beginnings and hope. Special Angel opens the opportunity by assisting the Children to new hope. Special Angel Inc. reaches these Children through the universal language of music.

I have known Suzanne Geimer for many, many years. I have always admired her commitment to troubled youths, especially those who have been forgotten or left behind by others. Her compassion is palpable.

Special Angel is a truly special organization. Suzanne's commitment to helping young people through music is unparalleled. Her natural charisma attracts teens' attention to her message of hope and allows her to engage musicians in this mission of healing. She treats each person with the kindness and caring of her own children. After many years of watching her success grow, I am proud to have become a member of the board of directors for this wonderfully life affirming organization.

I have known Suzanne Geimer and the Special Angel organization for many years. Over that time I have seen them focus on helping young people through troubled times by using music to reach their heads and hearts. In a unique way, the Special Angel team connects with youth through music, personal attention, and counseling. And, in many cases, they are able to reach kids who might not be reached in any other way. What a great organization.

Wish I could give it six stars.

I have known Special Angels for more than 20 years and they are not only talented but relentlessly devoted to their wonderful charitable cause.

Songs are believed to be the key to people’s heart. Special Angel uses their inspirational songs in reaching out to those who feel alone. Kids that are lonely, confused and feeling helpless.

Suzanne’s passion for helping goes beyond just helping those that are clinically sick (she’s an RN by profession) but by reaching out to those that are emotionally sick who don’t know how to navigate the emotional turmoil they are suffering from.

We all need our Special Angel to make us feel better as short as a song or as long as a lifetime. Special Angel keep up your wonderful work!

I have had the pleasure and honor of being involved with Special Angel since its founding. This has given me the opportunity to see first hand the dedication the organization has to helping our nation's youth through music as well as its successes over the years. There is perhaps nothing more gratifying than reading the thank you notes and feedback from the kids Special Angel visits and seeing that the group has truly made a tangible difference in these youngsters' lives. It is wonderful that Special Angel is expanding to other areas of the country - children and young adults everywhere can benefit from its message and its work.

I am proud to serve on the Board with others who share our mission. I have seen what happens when we bring our program to agencies helping at risk kids who have had more than their share of tough times. It is hard for them to trust and the music helps open the door to communication. Their smiles and positive responses grow with each visit.

This organisation displays an amazing dedication to our troubled youth by creating trust and acceptance through music and oral stories contributing to an engaged and therapeutic community.

I used to volunteer with this agency and I was always so moved by their influence on the young kids. They have a wonderful mission and such a passionate founder! Truly a gem of a resource.

As part of the Special Angel team I have seen first hand the positive effects of music with at-risk teenagers. No matter what challenges young adults have they all love music and it can become a window into their hearts regardless of their guardedness. And that's when healing can begin. We encourage the teens to express themselves by singing or playing percussion and sometimes we bring ukuleles for them to play to help the communication begin. Suzanne has the uncanny ability to draw out the concerns and anxieties from the group and help bring some peace and understanding into our sessions. It is an honor and a privilege to work with Suzanne and the Special Angel team.

I've known Suzanne and the folks at Special Angel for over two decades. I've never met a group of people more dedicated to helping young people gain a new foothold in life. There is no group I am prouder to support than Special Angel!

I have known the family and founder of Special Angel Inc. and the work they have done over the years to help resolve at risk kid's attitudes and at risk activities. The commitment of the team is outstanding and the kids gravitate to the music of discovery, creativity and love. Who wouldn't with Suzanne and Kelly at the helm. Way to go y'all!

Suzanne and I have been friends for 30 some years. I watched her grow as a nurse and musician. As her daughter became a teen, she made some bad choices. As all kids do, that’s how we learn to make better choices. Suzanne being the strong caring mother..... Started asking hard questions and learning how to solve difficult problems to help her daughter. Out of all the trials and errors they became closer and so started Special Angels! I am so proud of both of them. They didn’t just settle in and forget, they turned it around and gave back to all the lucky people who have crossed their path. I truly hope they will be singing and teaching for many more years!

Helping youth-at-risk is the most important issue in America today.
Thank you, Special Angel, for all that you do !

Special Angel has a lot to offer in helping
youth who are trying to get away from the epidemic
and back to a healthy path. Bravo, Special Angel.
Thank you so much!

As a band member, I have personally witnessed the great results of Special Angel since it's early days in the 1990's. Suzanne's stories, songs and interaction with at-risk kids in shelters like Children Of The Night and Covenant House in Los Angeles and New York have consistantly demonstrated the positive, healing power of music. It's gratifying to see these kids - many of whom have suffered sexual and drug abuse - come out of their shells, join in the music, and feel better about themselves as a result.

I have been fortunate enough to work alongside Suzanne Geimer with Special Angel Inc with her social media marketing. Her passion and commitment is contagious. She has a smart, eloquent voice that can lead people to two important statements, “I want to know more” and “I want to do more.”

A worthy program to empower the younger generation with important experiences to lift their souls through music -- such universal medicine. Sing and play on Special Angel touching many lives each day giving faith and hope. It is life changing.

Suzanne and Special Angel are wonderful, she and her organization are dedicated to helping young people.

I have been working with this organization since its humble beginnings. The message has always been the same. Helping kids through music. This organization is very grass roots. The children and teens are seen in their environment,where they are trying to thrive and grow. The organizations bring Special Angel to their locations:,the songs,the music is therapeutic. Through hearing stories of growth and encouragement,healing takes place. They are unique,and have a special message of hope to share.

I have had the honor to be involved with Special Angel since its founding. What the organization achieves in its work with troubled teens is truly remarkable and inspiring. The commitment of the founder and her team is most impressive and they work tirelessly to help kids with their music and visits. You have to see the change in these kids from how they walk in to a workshop with Special Angel to how they are when they leave to believe it. I look forward to working with them for many years to come and to helping them reach even more troubled teens both in their current market of Southern California and beyond.

The Special Angel Band, headed up by talented singing and strumming, mother/daughter team Suzanne and Kelly, has a unique mission and a unique way of reaching out to troubled teens who seem unreachable. They partner with other organizations and shelters to offer therapeutic music and quality entertainment to communicate with youth who are lost and help them find their place back in society and perhaps even to their own families. I had the pleasure of growing up with Suzanne and am not surprised that her life has been one of giving and reaching out to help others. They are not only a group of talented musicians but music lovers with a very special mission, special angels, indeed.

Special Angel mixes goodwill with its labor of love, music, to the benefit of thousands it has touched. It would be difficult to sum up in what this group does in a single word. But I will try with two -- simply splendid!

Helped with graphic design for one of their albums. They are a great band with a great message.

This organization reaches the kids who seem just out of reach. They are real and raw and truthful.

Suzanne....our wonderful Angel! I can't say enough good about this woman who is so giving of herself and her talents to help runaway, homeless, exploited children and adult women who are pregnant or parenting while residing in a residential substance abuse treatment center. Her special message is spread through her creative singing and song writing. She has helped so many enjoy the gift of her music as she travels miles with her family and band to perform free of charge. We are so lucky to have Suzanne in our lives. Thank you for being the loving, giving person you are. We look forward to your next visit..... Thank you for being in our lives......Darlene from the WestCare Women and Children's Campus in Las Vegas, Nevada

It has been amazing to watch the outstanding work Special Angel has done with kids who need hope. Suzanne and Kelly have kept their dream alive while helping so many kids in trouble around the country, as well as Children of the Night in LA. Kudos to these great women, their band and devoted friends who help carry on this needed work.

Special Angel is a much needed service to help young peopl feel they have someone who really cares about them. Through music they can communicate on a different level which helps them to open up and express their feelings. If they feel someone is listening this makes them feel more confident and have hope for the future.

Special Angel has been helping kids find their way for many years. They are a terrific organization and should be listed as a great non profit.

I've had the privlage to know this family for going on thirty years. In fact I give them credit for giving me the courage to become what God intended me to be, a professional songwriter. " Special Angel" should be plural. If you meet them, you'll know what I mean. To know them is truly an honor.

This is a great organization. Music is a wonderful avenue to reach kids. Special Angels has it all figured out by singing to troubled teens, they have had a great success rate in helping these kids. They seem to open up after hearing the music and the message Special Angels brings to them. This is a worthy organization that deserves to be heard.

Special Angel has volunteered with Children of the Night for a very long time, I believe it has been nearly 20 years. They are great with the kids and work hard to make everyone feel included. They are also wonderful musicians and Suzanne has a lovely singing voice. We are very lucky to count them among our volunteers.

The first time I ever volunteered with Special Angel, we went to Children of the Night. In all honesty I didn't think the kids living there would have any interest in the music, (not fully understanding their community yet) I assumed if it wasn't rap or punk the kids would resist. After introductions and band starting singing and engaging with the kids, I was blow away. The kids took to Suzanne and Kelly so fast, they clapped, they sang, they danced. All the kids and I mean ALL were having fun, Suzanne encouraged them to add their own personal lyrics to some of the songs which transformed a few of the shy kids into confident singers, who stood and took center stage. There was a spark in the kid's eyes, it was beautiful and enlightening. After that amazing night, I was hooked. All my assumptions about what these kids needed went right out the window. Suzanne knew how to connect with these kids and make this smile, feel special. Not enough people do that for these kids and I applaud Suzanne for doing it for so long and leaving those kids with joy. I continued to volunteer for many years, I believe in Suzanne, I am inspired by Suzanne and I am impressed by Suzanne and the what the Special Angel Band does for these at risk kids.

Special Angel gives more than just "a voice" to the silent majority of youth-at-risk
in the United States. This band of angels gives "a singing voice" to these youths,
and helps them on their road to recovery and regaining lost innocence. Everyone
could use a Special Angel to get by in this world - thanks for your generosity of
spirit, good music, and for your contagious optimism.
