ALL ABOUT OUR ANGELS

Hi my name is Gabriel Bleu~ and I began this charity when I was in 2nd grade. 

I felt I had to start a project like this when I read a "Weekly Reader" in school and learned about the "orphans" in Chechnya and Sarajevo.  I came home and told my mom to pack up my toys we had to send them to the orphans.  Of course she didn't but what she did do was let me pull half of my toys out and gift them to needy families right here in Pittsburgh.

  • Our first year we provided gifts of toys and clothing to a family located in our neighborhood of Brighton Heights who had lost everything during a fire and was living with their family. 
  • Our second year we got involved with the Glew Family and sponsored "Homeland's Helping Hands" which sent snacks and toiletries to soldier's overseas to keep their spirits up when they were so far away from home.  We also started a letter campaign at my school to send pictures and letters to the Marines.
  • Our third year we helped a family in our new neighborhood in Crafton after they lost everything on their first two floors to a fire.  They were so happy to have the little bit we gave them.
  • Our fourth year we worked really hard and created "Money For Many".  Along with my school and "The Home Depot" we raised $1,200.00 that we donated it to the "Red Cross" for hurricane victims... and just when we thought the year was over we met Miss Cathy and her family who are hurricane vicitims and got moved to Pittsburgh.  That story is on our Newsletter Page.  Currently we are accepting donations for Miss Cathy.
  • Other projects I have been involved with are:
    • Passing out toys at the Variety Club Christmas Party
    • Sponsoring a child through our church and getting him a bike last christmas.
    • Easter Bunny Breakfast Fundraiser for our Library
    • Being a Library Helper
    • Donating toys and books to Mercy Behavioral Health 
    • Winterfest Fundraiser for our Library
    • Cub Scouts Scouting For Food
    • Cub Scouts Donations to Goodwill of furniture & clothing
A Note From My Mom
 
Thank you for viewing the Angels On A Mission Website...
I would like to leave you with a few words from a mother who truly understands and cherishes the blessings that she has... My name is Anastasia and I am Gabe's mom. 
 
Gabriel was truly a blessing the day that he was born and has proven a miracle every day after that.  With multiple disabilities, Gabriel has traveled far beyond my expectations as a parent and dazzled me at every corner from the simplest act as "unconditonal hugs" to the most amazing as "performing on-stage in a concert".  You see, Gabriel was diagnosed as Autistic as a young child and later as having "Asperger's Syndrome" which is simply a kinder and gentler way of saying "Autism".  With the help of so many and their knowledge I have learned to be as pro-active as possible with my son and not allow him to be held back because of his disability.  As such, we have been blessed profusely with others who will listen to our situation and include Gabe in as much as he is possibly able to undertake.  Along with his Autism, Gabriel is faced with the challenges of other disabilities and even though it's difficult at times for him to not be like one of the other fellas, he still shines through and knows that everyone is different... and difference is Good.
 
I ask when you read this website and consider his mission, this is not one that I put upon him, nor is it a effort to start a resume young for that great college application, this is simply Gabriel being moved by the spirit to help another child and their family.  A pure and innocent action that he began at the tender age of 7.  I ask that you think for a moment and if you can help, please do... if you need help, please let us know... and if all is well within your world... then pass along the blessings.  Become an angel today~
