WHAT CAN GOD DO WITH A WOMAN LIKE ME?
I never thought that I would be wandering around cities at 11 pm passing out angel pins. But there I was, meeting people: junkies, a mother of a young woman arrested for prostitution twice in one day, and a lady who had been hit 50 times in the head. Even a man with a gun saying “No one will get hurt, I just need money for my baby.” That isn’t what I had in mind when I began my 7000-mile trek. I called my trip THE ANGELS ALONG THE WAY GOODWILL TOUR and had a sign company put those words and my web site address (www.teamofangels.com) on my van’s rear window.
Leaving from our Philadelphia suburb, I felt a great sense of anticipation and wondered what our immediate future held. My van was loaded with thousands of angel pins attached to a bookmark with a poem I had written. I wanted to reach out to others who were healing from hurts and disappointments and give them a little token of encouragement: my little gold team of angels pin. (photographs available)
I had the pins packed in hundreds of plastic bags, each containing a dozen or more pins. I planned to leave them in churches, hospitals, drug rehab clinics and shelters. As I stopped at Holiday Inns, Pizza Huts and Cracker Barrel restaurants, I left a bag in the ladies restrooms. I hoped that traveling people would find them and be encouraged.
The words of the poems were penned by me during a dark time in my life…. when I was placing all of my hope on the Good Shepherd. Before I placed a bag in a restroom, I prayed God, “please bless the person who finds this pin.” It didn’t take long until the black vehicle in front of me moved me to tears.
I would very much appreciate the opportunity to share ANGELS TO THE RESCUE with your ORGANIZATION or the readers of your publication. I welcome interviews and speaking engagements. If you would prefer that I be interviewed by one of your established contributors, that would be great. Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.
Very truly yours,
Patricia C. Gallagher

A TEAM OF ANGELS FOR SERIOUS ILLNESS
Lord, please send celestial melodies
And healing whispers too
I need a Team of Angels
For what I’m going through.
I’ll trust them to surround me
To uplift, console, caress
And carry all my fears
On wings of tenderness.
Gallagher knew what anxious waiting in doctors’ offices and hospital waiting rooms was like. “Sometimes it is the little things that can make you feel better: the kind gesture of a stranger or a random acts of kindness.”
