    Mustaches Partner

    Angels Among Us is named the Mustaches for Kids Charity partner. This campaign raised $750,000 for the mission which allowed for AAU to 1) erase the waitlist for good and 2) provide financial assistance specifically for a child’s length of treatment plan.

    Covid Hits

    Covid hit. The staff got to work and did a year-long study with the Grace Abbot School Masters of Social Work at UNO. The concept of emotional programming was born. While at the same time, there was greater financial need and $514,000 was given in support.

    Increased Financial Assistance

    20 Year Anniversary

    There is a vision to DO MORE. If Angels Among Us could step in and pay a family’s entire mortgage or rent payment who is living in or near poverty, the amount of financial support that would be provided in any given year would reach above $1.2 million. The organization’s 6-month reserve would need to be $1.7 million in order to meet this need.
