Delivering urgent aid with humanity and heart

Earth Angels Act delivers direct aid and compassionate support to underrepresented individuals and families in crisis. Our approach is humanitarian, not political. We bear witness, uplift stories, and educate, with our current focus being on Gaza.

Featured Initiative

Sons & Daughters of Hope

Our current primary initiative provides direct, dignified support to youth and families in Gaza — from urgent medical care and life-saving surgeries, to mobility devices, essential food, and critical daily needs. Whether it’s open-heart surgery for a parent or a wheelchair for a young man injured in an airstrike, each contribution becomes a lifeline: a restored possibility, a returned dignity, a chance to keep going. Every act of giving reaches people directly, with transparency, humanity, and compassion
