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 !

This group needs a White House audience.
As President Trump has recently pointed out:
the Opioid Crisis is a national emergency.
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!
Their dedication to youth-at-risk is commendable.
We need more volunteers to speak with youth about addiction and recovery.
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.
As Chairman of the Board and co-Founder, I have been amazed by what we have learned through our work with some pretty amazing agencies and the kids they work with. To be able to play a part in helping a young person heal and become who they were always meant to be is an honor and truly a wonderful opportunity. This is something to be proud of and to share.
I have had the pleasure to watch the wonderful work Special Angel Inc has been doing for twenty years. Their countless visits to perform and help teens in distress in Los Angeles and throughout the country is so admirable. Suzanne Geimer's giving and caring spirit are at the center of this special work and along with the musicians in her band and her lovely daughter they must all be considered Special Angels. Their loving hearts and musical talents are a real-time music therapy for young people who are in the depths of darkness. I have watched what Kelly, Suzanne, and the band have done to help these kids by taking them into their own world of writing and playing music, and by teaching them to play the guitars donated to Special Angel for this very purpose. Music therapy works and music is the universal language. I am so proud to know them.
Special Angel is an amazing organization. The way Suzanne and the other performers are able to connect with young people and help them live better lives is inspiring. It is a privilege to support the work that they are doing.
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 read the book "Someday It Will Matter" written by Suzanne of the Special Angel Organization. It was a true story of a Mother and Daughter and how they overcome their struggles with individual problems through music together. Through lyrics, they were able to express their story and begin healing themselves. Today, this organization reaches out to help other troubled teens wanting to listen to what they sing which I feel gives others hope for themselves.
This organization is truly worth supporting..

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.
