The Angel Who Inspired AngelAID
by Arlene and Carl Shipley
For over 18 years, we had been praying for a family. And when the telephone call finally came, we were expecting a warm, cuddly baby. Instead, God’s plan for us was a miracle – a miracle that just happened to come in the package of an angry, 70 pound, 9-year-old African- American girl with AIDS. We thought we were offering this wounded child a safe home. Little did we know she would take up residence in our hearts.
