Featured: Project Angel Mom
ProjectAngelMom.com gives direct-donation information for the real families behind the most heartbreaking news headlines. Every day, news stories about families fighting difficult odds inspire millions who want to help, but don't know how. Now there is a way to turn that inspiration into action: ProjectAngelMom.com publishes the exact address and online payment information for families that are in the news due to dire circumstances.
Founded by former editor-in-chief of Seventeen magazine Sabrina Weill, the site's recent profiles include the parents of conjoined infant twins who were surgically separated and struggle with spina bifida; a hit-and-run vicitim who needs help buying a chin-operated wheelchair; and a high school athlete who was permanently injured during a football scrimmage. Inspired by local and national news stories, each ProjectAngelMom.com story is about a single family struggling with poverty, illness, or survivors of crime or natural disasters. And 100% of all donations go directly to the families-in-need.
The site is an example of a growing trend in charity: Micro-Philanthropy, which is also known as person-to-person giving. ProjectAngelMom.com connects moms-in-deed with families-in-need, because behind headlines like "Woman Suffers From ..." or "One Family's Tragic Story ..." are real people who need their own little (sometimes big) miracle.
