Ann’s Angels is a non-profit organization that helps fund professional caregiving and care management for people with Parkinson’s Disease. Our mission is to improve quality of life and peace of mind for people and families living with Parkinson’s.

Ann’s Angels is in fundraising mode!

Our initial fundraising drive through March 2022 seeks to raise $17,000, enough to help 3 families with daytime care for 3 months. Help us launch — and be a part of Ann’s Angels history!

Your donation helps pay for caregiving and care management services. When you donate, Parkinson’s Disease patients get better care. And their families get support and peace of mind.

Meeting Your Loved One’s Needs

Some families need help providing care for people with Parkinson’s.

If you’re in charge of your loved one’s care, you know that it’s not always possible to do it all. Children can’t always be present. Spouses may no longer be able to provide the level of care that’s needed. Sometimes families have to make tough choices based on their location, work demands and budget.

Professional caregiving and care management services can make a life-changing difference. But many families are unable to fund the level of service that’s needed. 


What We Do

Ann’s Angels helps families pay for professional caregiving and management services.

We make it easy to get the funds you need on a recurring basis. Simply provide proof of diagnosis, and we’ll help fund the service by paying the agency directly. Learn more about what we do and how it works.

Why Ann’s Angels?

Families turn to Ann’s Angels when they need help providing care for a loved one with Parkinson’s, whether on a one-time, occasional or regular basis (see examples here). Ann’s Angels provides a simple and reliable alternative to other funding alternatives:

  • Sometimes loans or grants can help, but this can be a lengthy and difficult process. And not all families are eligible.
  • Voucher programs are intended to give primary caregivers (e.g. spouses or children who manage their loved one’s care) a break. But because funding is limited and they only reimburse once a year, they are not long-term solutions.
  • Help from family and friends is wonderful for the person with Parkinson’s. However, this is often not available on a regular, predictable basis. In addition, spouses or children providing full-time and/or live-in care need breaks, and sometimes the required level of care goes beyond what the loved one can provide.

Ann’s Angels makes it easy to get the funds you need on a recurring basis – simply provide proof of diagnosis, and we’ll help fund the service by paying the agency directly.
