When you join our group of philanthropists, you help provide life-changing surgeries to those in desperate need of a miracle. But beyond that, you help to build a bridge between donors and patients. Our Angels have the opportunity to make a direct impact on the lives of our patients, their families, and their communities.
Our Angels all are motivated by our commitment to Operation Walk, here are some of their whys.
“I remember seeing a woman just hours after surgery, the difference was remarkable. Gone was her furrowed brow and tension. Without pain, she looked relaxed, and her eyes shone with relief and gratitude. Witnessing first hand, patients walking free from pain after years of disability, will remain with me the rest of my life.”
-Kathy Goodwin
Founding Angel
“After traveling with the Operation Walk Los Angeles team, the thing that I’m walking away with, that I just didn’t know until I watched our volunteers in action, is the commitment to the team itself and that team is what ultimately makes the operation successful.”
-Kathy Link
“Getting to see patients walk for the first time and knowing that they are taking their first steps into a new life, right before my eyes, that I am a part of it; this is my why. This is why I am an Angel and why I volunteer for every mission I can.”
-Stacy Kelso
“I’m very grateful for this opportunity and hold such respect and admiration for EVERYONE who helps to keep this mission ALIVE. The world depends on our generosity to make it a better, brighter place and the Angels are a part of that beautiful movement.”
-Ava Baldwin
“These trips, this group, and our common goal of restoring mobility reminds us of why we went into healthcare”.
