Alyssa's Angels Foundation

"To Alyssa's Angels,

God bless you for the wonderful work you do. I remember the day that I first got your help. I was in my kitchen and I realized I was out of food and juice and I had nothing for my kids to eat. I was just thinking what am I going to do and I didn't have any money to buy anything. I was just standing there and didn't know what to do when my son came in the kitchen and said mommy there's mail for you. I took it and opened the mail and I couldn't believe it as there was a Walmart gift card inside from Alyssa's Angels. And that's what you are... Angels. Thank you for your help."

On August 24, 2006, Alyssa Rose Bruno passed away after a valiant battle with brain stem cancer (diffuse pontine glioma). During her short life she touched the hearts of many people not only in the Rochester area, but also around the world. Her parents, Lori and Chris Bruno, along with family members and their many friends have therefore decided to establish a charitable organization in Alyssa's memory.

In addition to her tremendous courage, Alyssa Bruno displayed exceptional kindness, generosity and sensitivity, particularly towards other children. Her heartfelt concern about the happiness and well being of other human beings was a special gift that we plan to continue to give on her behalf.

The important work of the Alyssa's Angels organization is funded solely through the contributions of private individuals, organizations and businesses. We would welcome your support of our efforts to assist children who are the victims of child abuse or neglect, and those that are experiencing serious medical, emotional or behavioral problems.
