PARENT COMPANY TO ARCHANGELS
ARCHANGELS is a Massachusetts-based, women owned organization shamelessly hustling to make change happen for unpaid caregivers.
Engage with Grace begins with an extraordinary young woman named Rosaria Vandenberg who was 32 when she was diagnosed with stage IV glioblastoma. She died only 7 short months later, leaving behind a two year old daughter, a doting husband, and a loving family.
Her experience as well as her family’s experience is part of what inspired us to start the Engage with Grace movement.
Za almost died in the hospital having not been touched or held by her two year old daughter, Alessia, in over two months. However her family stood up to the system and did what they thought she would have wanted, and they took her home.
That night back at home, after two months in the hospital, Alessia crawled up next to Za in bed and gave her mum medicine. And Za who had not spoken or opened her eyes in at least a week, woke up fully, and looked her daughter square in the eyes, and loved her in the way that only a mum can.
The next night Za died, peacefully, at home.
