Terra’s Angels Charities is an
organization of volunteers who help provide the basic needs of
families that have children with life-threatening cancer. It was
established to carry on in the example of Terra Murrell, who also
suffered from cancer for nine years. Terra spent many of these years
receiving treatment at Vanderbilt Hospital and
Nashville became her second home. Terra believed in lending a
helping hand, a comforting shoulder, sharing a laugh or a needed
prayer. She never complained about her own problems and instead
busied herself comforting children and their families as they
endured this dreadful disease. As she did these things, she inspired
the many people who have come together for this cause. Terra lost
her battle with cancer on July 1, 2001, but her enduring influence
still lifts up families today.
Terra’s Angels Charities is organized
under Section 501(c)(3) of the Federal Tax Code and donations are
tax deductible.
Proceeds from the fundraiser and the
direct donations will be used to provide assistance to families with
children who are battling cancer age’s newborn to age 25. Many
parents in this situation must leave employment for months and
sometimes years to care for their sick child. During these times,
basic things like utility bills, car payments, house payments, food,
medication or temporary housing can be beyond their means.
In addition to providing these basic
items, Terra’s Angels also assists with:
- Transportation and temporary housing for families
who need to travel outside of the area for life saving therapies.
- Car repairs.
- Hats, wigs and clothing for the patient.
- Medically required equipment such as wheelchairs
and crutches.
- “Wishes” for children that do not qualify
for other organized programs. (18-21)
Please help us to be able to continue to
meet this need.
Our referrals come from social workers,
nurses, and doctors.
