Debbie has spent her life helping others professionally as a registered nurse and privately through her philanthropic efforts. Debbie's selflessness and concern for others started at an early age and has developed into the primary focus and purpose for this next chapter of life. Realizing how her actions can affect others was the catalyst for Angelic Kindness and her experience in business, nursing, mental health, and charitable partnerships provides the foundation for this new charitable organization.

James lives a philanthropic life, having been taught the importance of helping others early on. He received early support from Debbie, and she has become part of his chosen family. She has helped teach James the importance of helping others out and using your skill set for the better good. Having seen firsthand the importance of mental health, James believes we are all born with something special that is meant to make someone smile. A joke, a cup of coffee or just kind words. He is looking towards all of the kindness that will be shared through AK.

In Memoriam
It was with great sadness that we said goodbye to our dear friend and Chief Fundraising Officer, Gary Hoffman, on April 7, 2023.
Gary brought his love of helping others to Angelic Kindness in our infancy. Despite already being extremely active in the community, serving many charities and community agencies, he committed, without hesitation, to serving our mission.
Angelic Kindness has made a powerful impact on our communities, due in large part to Gary’s drive and dedication to spreading kindness wherever he could.
In Gary’s own words, "I have learned to appreciate what we have, and it motivates my wife and I to help people that are less fortunate."
"Individuals move boulders, organizations move mountains."
Gary’s legacy will live at Angelic Kindness as we continue to move mountains. -- KB
