Access to care is more than a need—it’s a lifeline. For many, the Angel Fund transforms uncertainty into hope, providing essentials like food, warm clothing, and shelter during the most challenging times. It’s not just about financial aid; it’s about giving families the ability to move forward.
Last year, Rogers Foundation received hundreds of Angel Fund requests—the most ever in our history. The overwhelming need underscores the struggles so many face, and thanks to incredible support, we provided more than $300,000 in critical assistance. But it doesn’t stop here.
Will you be the reason someone finds hope this Giving Tuesday?
Your gift to the Angel Fund is the reason a someone’s focus can shift to what really matters – getting well. For themself. For their loved ones. For their livlihood. It’s a gift toward ensuring more patients can heal and embrace a life full of possibility and promise. Thank you!
With gratitude and hope,
Rogers Behavioral Health Foundation

Bus ticket home
“I live 4 hours away from Rogers. When I came for inpatient care, a friend was able to drive me, but she cannot pick me up. I’m asking for $50 to purchase a one-way bus ticket home and a little extra for a meal, if possible. Thank you!”
Clothes for interview
“I’m discharging from residential treatment in 2 weeks and I want to start applying for jobs. I’ve been unable to hold a job for 2 years but would like to try again now that I’m feeling better. I have no money to buy clothes or get my hair cut. I’m asking for $100 for personal needs so I can feel confident going into an interview.”
Food and supplies
“I live with my parents and 5 siblings. We don’t have much money, and our house always dirty. We never have shampoo or toothpaste, and the cupboards are usually empty. I’m trying to work to make money, but my OCD won’t let me. I’m asking for $150 to help buy some food and other supplies for home. I’m grateful for any help you can provide!”
Gas for car
“I successfully completed residential treatment and started intensive outpatient. I had been on disability, but that ended, and now I have no source of income. Because I drive 90 miles round trip to get to Rogers, I have to fill my car with gas twice a week. I’m asking for $200, which will allow me to get to treatment for 2 more weeks.”
Living expenses
“I’m currently receiving only a part of my paycheck due to treatment, and it’s being used to cover medical costs, veterinary care for my dog, groceries, gas, utilities, and student loan payments. At this point, I have no idea how I’m going to pay for my share of the rent. I’m asking for $800, which will offer some relief. I’m doing great in my treatment and getting better every day. I appreciate your consideration!”
