This year also marks the 15th anniversary of Angels Above! A special presentation honoring Sue for the many years she has helped children was given by the Child Life Specialists. Sue was presented with a painting of children surrounding her, which will hang in the Angels Above Store and also in a section of the playroom on Ellison 18 which has been named "Kimberly's Corner".

We hope to see you again next year on Sunday, November 4th as we celebrate our 11th Angels Above Twilight Affair!

Founded in 1996 by Sue Horman in loving memory of her daughter, Kimberly

Angels Above plays a pivotal role in the lives of the children at Mass
General Hospital for Children (MGHfC) by focusing on individualized patient care and bringing smiles to the faces of patients during their stay

Angels Above provides special gifts for the many children at MGHfC that are critically
and chronically ill

Working hand and hand with the Child Life Department, Angels Above strives to help normalize the hospitalization experience for children and families

Contributions range from organizing holiday celebrations, birthday parties, end of chemotherapy treatment parties to donating endless amounts of games, movies, art supplies, laptops, PlayStations, and DVD players
