Christopher Douglas Hidden Angel Foundation

Multi Sensory Environments, Sensory Stimulation

“There are no guarantees in life, except that everyone faces struggles. This is how we learn (and grow). Some face struggles from the moment they are born. They are the most special of all people, requiring the most care and compassion and reminding us that love is the sole purpose of life.”– Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
These are our Hidden Angels – teaching all of us life’s most valuable lessons.

Donations

We are dependent on the generosity of others to deploy our multi sensory environments. We have been successful in attracting a growing number of corporate and individual donors in both of the Canadian and US foundations.

However the request for facilities continues to exceed the donations received.

How can you help? We have three easy ways you can Help!

1. Direct Donations:

3. Help The Hidden Angel Foundation build a room – the following charitable organizations are in need of a Multi Sensory Environment to enrich the lives of people with disabilities – you can become an intricate part of anyone of these rooms by purchasing a piece of equipment for the room.

“Each time a person stands up for an idea, or acts to improve the lot of others, they send forth a tiny ripple of hope … These ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.” – Robert F. Kennedy

Hidden Angel Foundation, Inc established in 2004 and incorporated in August 2005 in the USA  is a not-for-profit public charity organization, 501(c)3 corporation, that creates and supports innovative programs that directly enriches the lives, health, and social well-being of individuals with cognitive, emotional, and physical impairments multi-sensory environments demonstrating new approaches to advance education, therapy, recreation and inclusion of special needs populations.

The simple pleasures and joys that children experience running, playing and enjoying a sunny day are sometimes not available for children with special needs. Due to limitations, they don’t experience or are unable to interact with their surroundings, limiting their sensory experiences.
Multi-sensory stimulation is as necessary for survival as food and water. Isn’t it our responsibility to help every child feel included and offer them an environment where they can experience simple joys in life?

Help us, help them!
