“I don't think the public realizes how much sharing DonnaBellas Angels helps me in my work as a hospice nurse. I recently spoke with two sisters who signed their Mom in hospice. I was so happy to have the DonnaBellas Angels art package I received so I could share it with them. I often connect with the patients and their families. It is an honor to help them as a nurse but wonderful to leave something so touching as DonnaBellas Angels art behind during a very precious time in their lives."

A woman called to share what the art means to her. She was waiting on a stretcher in a doctor's office when she saw one my "What Cancer Cannot Do" angel painting art prints on the wall. She wasn't sure if she had cancer at that time but was inspired that if she did that was the right approach to take to life. She said she tried to memorize the text since she had nothing to write on but then asked staff to find paper & pencil for her to write it down. A staff member came back and said she had found one of the postcards, so she took a photo of it. (Turned out she did not have cancer but something else.) Perfect that the woman's name was "Faith".
