Our Story
Our story dates back in 1997 when our founder RaeQwan Jordan entered the world.
Rae was born with spina bifida and paralyzed from the waist down, doctors had painted a grim picture of his future, predicting a short life filled with complications.
But Rae, a man of unwavering determination and an infectious smile, had other plans. He approached life with a spirit that refused to be confined by the boundaries of his condition. Over nearly three decades, he endured over 20 surgeries, each one a testament to his resilience.
Through the toughest of times, Rae wore a smile that radiated hope, and he held a perspective that many would find hard to fathom. He believed that life's challenges were not obstacles but stepping stones toward something greater.
Five years ago, Rae embarked on a mission that would touch countless lives. He founded a non-profit organization that crafted handmade fleece blankets, each a labor of love and dedication. These blankets, warm and soft, carried a piece of Rae's indomitable spirit with them.
With every stitch, Rae's non-profit became a beacon of light. Hundreds of blankets found their way to cancer centers, hospitals, domestic violence shelters, and homeless shelters, offering warmth and comfort to those who needed it most.
But Rae's heart was not satisfied. He dreamed of doing more, giving more. And so, he started the 'Angels On Earth' holiday giveaway. Every year, families, kids, and seniors who were struggling to make ends meet received not only food and clothes but also the gift of hope.
Rae's story serves as a reminder that anything is possible if you believe. It's a testament to the incredible power of the human spirit, unwavering in the face of adversity. And as long as there are people like Rae, the world will continue to be a place where hope, kindness, and the belief in the impossible thrive.
