This blog is a photo meme documenting people's real life angels. It's a way to honor your friends, loved ones, or strangers who have improved the world and acted selflessly, or who mean a lot to you. The meme is in the spirit of Damato's song "Angels" because..angels don't fall that often. Get the song here. Join Damato on Facebook or Twitter
Project Angel Food’s mission is to nourish the body and spirit of me, women and children affected by HIV/AIDS, Cancer, and other life-threatening illnesses. Volunteers and staff cook and deliver over 13,000 free and nutritious meals a week throughout Los Angeles to those in need.
My Angel is my Mom she has made so many sacrifices in her life to allow me to break free and believe in myself .. even though we have many differences in life Every year that goes by I live her more n more - Damato
Lubutu, DR Congo – February 2011
MSF took over the running of Lubutu General Reference Hospital in Maniema Province, Democratic Republic of Congo in 2006. The aims were to reduce the extremely high mortality levels in this remote rural area and to share with the Ministry of Health MSF’s experiences of how best to do this. The hospital is due to be handed back to the Ministry of Health in December 2011 after 5 years of MSF management.

Much Like Damato’s Angels, the Huffington Post has a “Greatest Person” feature. Check her out here! Upload your angels to our site here.
EMS providers include a wide range of individuals, including those who work in — and yes, drive — ambulances. But please, do not call them “ambulance drivers.” EMS workers include certified emergency medical responders, emergency medical technicians, and licensed paramedics. Whether they receive a paycheck or are volunteers, they are all professionals who receive the same training to save a life.
Chronic violence and neglect in parts of northeastern Uganda’s Karamoja region means 70 percent of the population has no access to any kind of health care. This affects women the most - maternal mortality rates here are 75 percent higher than the national average. MSF goals in Karamoja’s Kaabong district are to strengthen government health services and to reach people who otherwise can’t get to health facilities.

One.org does great work. #DamatosAngels
This is just a reminder that every gesture means something bigger to someone. Here’s to the Angels who donated the dresses and the Angels who are going to have a magical night at the prom because of them! #DamatosAngels
Our friends at Cure Thrift Shop so generously donated 16 dresses and 10 pairs of shoes to the Lower East Side Girls Club prom dress drive! They’re our favorite!
If you’re cleaning out your closet and donating dresses to the drive, donate your non-prom dresses to Cure, benefiting the Diabetes Research Institute, at 111 East 12th Street, NY, NY.
For more info on how to help us in our efforts to collect prom dresses for the LES Girls Club, check out our post here! :)

Angel of the day: Japan Animal Earthquake Rescue and Support. The Japan Earthquake Animal Rescue and Support (JEARS) team and Kinship Circle continues to work diligently in the aftermath of Japan’s devastating earthquake, tsunami and radiation threat. Thanks to generous donors, like Global Animal readers who’ve donated over $27,000 in support, these volunteers are on the ground making a huge difference in the lives of animals and people alike. In the photo gallery below are some of those lives.
