Brian’s Angels was founded by Pat Stebbins in her son’s memory, Brian Pinz. Brian died on March 10, 1998, two weeks before his 25th birthday, after having a period of homelessness.
While Brian’s presence is sorely missed by everyone who knew him, his mother Pat knew that she had to do something so no one else would lose a child, a brother, a sister, or a friend to homelessness. Since its founding, Brian’s Angels has been dedicated to helping the homeless residents of Bristol, CT with care and kindness. We work tirelessly all year round to provide food, clothing, and shelter opportunities to those in need. We rely on the passionate volunteers to help keep us going, as well as the generous support of the City of Bristol, and the support of the community.
How You Can HelpThere isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t miss Brian. He had a good heart, a good attitude, and made everyone smile. Today, with the help of our volunteers, the weight of Brian’s passing is lessened when I see how this organization has come together to help others. Brian’s Angels has helped hundreds of homeless people here in Bristol – but beyond that, it has helped many more to see the goodness in others, and the kindness in all of our hearts. It’s only when we help each other that we can truly be the best people we can.
I hope that what we do here at Brian’s Angels can inspire someone to help another person. Maybe someone in your own town, or right here in Bristol. Our mission of giving and caring is important to me, and I know it would be important to Brian, too, if he were here. In his memory, we continue to give back to the community, and to those who are not as fortunate as the rest.
With love,
The music and lyrics of this song truly speak to my heart, and I wanted to share it with you. It’s a song about suicide, and reminds me of why I continue to do what I do every day. ~ Pat
