Make a Difference with Virginia Ann's Angels

Supporting individuals and families affected by Huntington's Disease

About Us
Virginia Ann’s Angels is a nonprofit founded in honor of Virginia Ann and inspired by the love, strength, and resilience of families facing HD.

HD is a rare diagnosis that not only impacts a person’s health, but also places emotional, physical, and financial strain on everyone around them. The costs add up quickly: wheelchairs, transportation, home care supplies, and countless other out-of-pocket needs that no one ever plans for.

We provide direct support to those who need it most. Whether it's covering the cost of a wheelchair or sending an Uber gift card so someone can make it to a doctor’s appointment, our donations go straight to the families affected.

Our mission is simple: ease the financial burden so families can focus on what truly matters, caring for their loved ones. Together, we can bring peace, comfort, and compassion to those navigating the challenges of Huntington’s Disease.
Huntington's Disease
Huntington's disease is a rare, inherited genetic condition that causes the progressive degeneration of nerve cells in the brain, leading to physical, cognitive, and psychiatric symptoms. It typically develops in a person’s 30s or 40s, though it can appear earlier or later. Over time, it severely impacts movement, thinking, and behavior, gradually reducing a person's ability to function independently.
