Henry's Angels   

Henry's Angels is a not-for-profit charity that was created to honor the life of Henry Lloyd Markle.  Henry courageously battled cancer for seven long years.  In the end, he expressed a desire to help others with cancer.  With that mission in mind, Henry's Angels was established.

What We Do

The mission of Henry's Angels is to provide comfort to those that are being treated for cancer, specifically pediatric and geriatric patients.  The "Angels" mission is to visit cancer patients in Tampa Bay area hospitals and treatment facilities.  Items of both comfort and cheer will be provided to these patients with attention being paid to special requests.  Special events will also be held, particularly around the Holidays, for cancer patients and their families.   

How can I help?

There are various ways to support the mission of Henry's Angels:

• The best way to donate is to make a tax-deductible monetary donation so that gifts and services may be provided to cancer patients as needed throughout the year
• Donate new children's books
• Donate new books and magazines that may be of interest to older patients
• Donate new games and puzzle books for both children and adults
• Donate new stuffed animals and small children's toys
• Donate movies (DVD and VHS), Rated G, PG and PG-13 preferred
• Donate new comfort items such as: lip balm/chapstick, lotion/moisturizers, hard candy, small packages of tissue, etc. so that we may make care packages for the patients
• Donate new hats or scarves for both children and adults, both male and female

• Volunteer to go out on "Angel Patrol" at Tampa Bay area cancer wards and treatment facilities

• It is stressed that items be new as most patients undergoing cancer treatment have compromised immune systems and all items that they may come in close contact with need to be new and sanitary. Thank you.

Note: In addition to buying items to fills the "needs" of the cancer patients, monetary donations may also   be used to purchase items of "cheer" for patients.  For example: balloons, sweet treats, holiday gifts, etc.   Henry specifically requested that we deliver items to "cheer" the patients and "bring smiles to their faces."

Donations are tax-deductible.
