Angel Faces — healing retreats designed to inspire adolescent girls with severe facial disfigurements to achieve their optimum potential.

Greetings Everyone!

We are blessed to be heading into our FIFTH retreat!

As the next retreat approaches, June 22 through 27th; (leaders arrive on June 21st) I've been busy reading through the applications. I'm reminded of the deep pain the girls carry, "It hurts me so much that kids at school stare at my scars" wrote one applicant. "I'm scared that no one will ever want to marry me", wrote another. As I read further into the application – I read their hunger for a better life – I get excited and inspired! By completing and mailing their application, flying across the miles to a place unknown…. It is clear they have the courage to heal from their trauma or their facial difference. We are ready to assist that process.

Just recently, I received this lovely painting from Amanda, Age 12, who was burned in a house fire. Amanda attended last year and will be returning this year.

Collectively our team teaches important skills to girls during the retreat and throughout the year. However, it is THEIR courage and willingness to arrive with open heart, participate and push through their pain for a better life that makes Angel Faces so powerful. Enjoy the website and I hope you are inspired too – to give back. Throughout the year we reach out to support girls with facial differences. Please Donate. We need the funding – help us change the path these girls so often travel down.
