AngelAID is a grass-roots, 501(c)3 non-profit community based organization founded and run by Dr. Carl and Arlene Shipley in memory of Tashia (Butler) Shipley who died of AIDS from sexual abuse. On a daily basis we are helping over 2,000 children in our tri-county Jacksonville, Florida USA area (and their families) who have life-threatening diseases or situations. We are serving children with nearly 200 different diagnosis.

What Constitutes AngelAID

• AngelAID is a 100% donation/volunteer-based organization; we have no paid employees. Through private contributions AngelAID is able to provide various types of relief to hundreds of families in the Jacksonville area.
• Many families in this situation have no where to turn for support and understanding when they are forced to face the reality that their child has a devastating disease.
• Often these families feel alone and abandoned while they struggle to meet basic daily needs. AngelAID strives to help these children have the best possible “todays” while preparing their child to “go and meet God” (as Tashia would say).
• AngelAID understands the needs of these families and is able to provide direction and guidance toward solutions to problems the families are often unaware are available.
• AngelAID is driven by the needs of our families in our case files.

What AngelAID Does

• Services are provided through referral by physicians, schools, hospitals, churches, juvenile justice, police, and other case management agencies.
• No money is ever given out.
• The actual product or need is taken care of by the foundation volunteers to assure that actual needs are met.
• We assist in housing, utilities, medical care, transportation, food, clothing along with the
  spiritual needs of our AngelKIDS.
