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 discover
any situation that will help their family meet
just 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 of problems for
which the families are often unaware are
needed or available.
•
AngelAID is driven by the needs of our
families through our case files.
•

about the Angel who inspired this vision.
Tashia died of AIDS from sexual abuse
one week after her 11th birthday.

Food Bank and Clothing Closet Our
AngelATTIC Thrift Store brings in dollars to
help pay for the rent, electric, insurance and
telephone costs. Not only do we sell items
donated, but this store serves as our
clothing closet for our clients. We feel our

(perishable and non-perishable) distributed
from our food bank (including hygiene
products) was 100% donated.

WELCOME
About AngelAID
AngelAID is a grass-roots, 501(c)3 non-profit community based organization founded and run by Carl and Arlene Shipley in memory of Tashia (Butler) Shipley
who died of AIDS from sexual abuse. On a daily basis we are helping, and have helped 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 over 100 different diagnosis.
HOW ANGELAID STARTED
ANGELS BELIEVE IN SANTA
When we welcomed Tashia into our home and hearts, we knew our time with Tashia was limited due to the AIDS she had contracted from nine years of sexual
abuse, and each day our hopes and hearts rose that she would live to see a glorious Christmas Holiday in our home. Then afrter onnly 6 safe months with us
the Intensive Care doctor said her dibilitated little body did not have the strength to make the six days to Christmas …
“Every child is our child and on a daily
basis we try to make our lives a prayer”
- Carl and Arlene Shipley
