Angels at the Comfort House

I became aware of the Comfort House when Betty,a close friend, was a resident.   She had terminal cancer and had no one to care for her at home.  Her doctor suggested that she go to the Comfort House there in McAllen where she lived.  She was given the front bedroom with a large window and was made comfortable.  Betty was an artist and she had one of her beautiful pictures hung in her room – it still remains in that room even though she has been gone for many years. 

The Comfort House welcomes persons regardless of race, faith, persuasion or economic status. Generally, residents are admitted when they no longer seek a medical cure and their life expectancy is less than four months.   There are many angels that volunteer to help at the Comfort House.

Donations are the primary support of the organization - that is where my angel pins come in.   I furnish the angel pins in memory of my friend and the Comfort House sells them year round to help  pay expenses.  It is an honor and I am blessed to be a small part of this organization.
