The 2020 Team

Thanks to this amazing founding team, Angel’s Wings Children was able to begin its mission to advocate for palliative care!

Their message to you:

Hello! We are a group of teens who hope we can make an impact, no matter how small, on the lives of others. We heard about the opening of Daisy’s Home, Beijing’s first palliative care agency for children, and fell in love with their cause.

A rising senior in high school, Stephanie attends Shady Side Academy in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She has an interest in medicine and likes to take pictures and hike in her free time. In the summer of 2019, she volunteered at Angel’s Wings Children for two weeks. Her focus is to advocate for the center by leading the team and communicating with the center to make AWC more well-known in the United States.

Emma is a rising junior at Unionville High School. She loves to play volleyball, both for her school and her club. She also likes to spend her spare time shopping, hanging out with her friends, and volunteering at her local animal shelter. With this project, she wants to help advocate for AWC and raise money.

In her free time, she naps, ponders the intricacies of the human condition, and watches hours and hours of college youtubers, overly critical Booktubers, and Gossip Girl (to cope with her stresses on applying to college) until her brain has become a mush of numb and disconnected cells. She is excited to contribute as much as she can, to help this project.

Annie is a rising freshman at New Trier High School in Illinois. She likes to dance, read, and play the piano and viola in her free time. In this project, she writes articles and helps to edit the website sometimes, but her main focus is to translate the Chinese articles from the center’s official WeChat account to English and publishing them on our website for more people to see.
