Together we can change lives
"Growing up in California, my family instilled a sense of responsibility in me. I’m very proud to have become a true, naturalized Texan after spending all of my adult life in Houston and learning it is a ‘Texas Thing’ to give back and help people."

Proceeds will support the organization in its mission to improve the quality of life for special needs children by providing wheelchairs, hearing aids and other adaptive equipment and services.
The Be An Angel vision is to use all available means to help create a world where every special needs or profoundly deaf child has the opportunity to improve their personal quality of life, in order to facilitate that child’s ability to grow physically and emotionally to the full extent of their individual capacity.
