Celebrate Spring! This month brings new life, the promise of life everlasting, and the story of

lives spared as we celebrate Easter and Passover. Our patients and families welcome new

life, trust the promise of life everlasting, or give thanks for life spared daily. In spite of

hardships they are hopeful, grateful and most of all, resourceful.


Baby David
was born prematurely and lost his mommy as she brought him into this world.

Frank, David’s widowed father, works two jobs, cares for David’s six-year-old brother and

awaits the time when David is big enough and healthy enough to come home. Fortunately

Frank’s mom is there to help care for the family. Frank is a proud man and when asked what

he needed he said all was well. But baby David’s social worker knew the family was not

prepared for the baby’s arrival. AIN was able to provide a lovely baby basket with all a

newborn baby would need. We also included a lovely blanket, stuffed toy and pillow made by

Glendora Sewing Guild for big brother.


Chris
was fifteen when he was hit three times in a drive by shooting on his way home from

school. He was brought back to life twice in the emergency room. His mother, Ruth, stayed at

her only son’s bedside for a month. She was unable to work, but mercifully her employer was

able to hold her position for her. Adding to the stress, their lives were threatened and they had

to flee their home. They have been staying on a family member’s couch until Victims Services

can relocate them. Chris is due back for surgery on his arm. Ruth wants to be close by and

AIN was able to provide three days in a motel near the hospital for Chris’ surgery. Chris and

Ruth are grateful that Chris is alive, for AIN’s assistance, and the support of their family and

Thanks to your support, especially our Sustaining Angels,

we are blessed to offer a helping hand.
