• Improving the Lives of Children

Our Purpose and Mission

We are a US based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life and the survival chances of children with severe health conditions, by providing medical and comprehensive aid to them and their caregivers.

We provide pediatric palliative care for those with terminal illnesses, favoring and facilitating home health care and coaching to the parents. We are conscious that when a child’s life comes with many challenges there is a need deeper than that for food or medicine, it is the need to feel loved and accompanied.

Often these children, in addition to being ill, are born in dysfunctional families and extreme poverty. In the name of God and His Love and Mercy we aim to carry the living message of the greatest Love, the Love of God for all his children.

Ana Paula was born April 18, 2018. She is now 2 ½ years old. She was born with Werdnig-Hoffmann disease, also known as acute spinal muscular atrophy. She cannot move or walk. She cannot swallow or breathe on her own and so she depends on a ventilator. Her mother is by her side as her caregiver.

Litzy Maria Luna Mendoza was the first child helped by Angels of Mercy. She was flown to Indianapolis from Cuba for life saving renal surgery performed by Dr. Martin Kaefer.

Take Me Home Project (Phase 2)

Create an In-Home Room for the Child

Create a budget to enable at least one room at each child's home for when they are sent home after all treatment has been exhausted. They can have the necessary conditions, hygiene, and safety to be taken home in accordance with the international health regulations. This includes a room made out of masonry, with appropriate ventilation, easy-to-clean flooring, and  electricity for the child's medical equipment (artificial respirator, etc.).

 

House of Mercy Project (Phase 3)

Hospitality Houses Near Hospitals and Cancer Centers

We wish to create or acquire a  “Houses of Mercy” near the main Pediatric Hospitals and Pediatric Cancer Centers. These houses will be able to offer free accommodations to those families that travel to other cities to receive treatment. A House of Mercy would also serve as a meeting space for families on the project to share experiences, learn self-care techniques, and carry out group activities.
