Our Mission
The mission of the Angel Breaks Foundation is to enhance the lives of families who have members coping with severe medical conditions by providing vacations that enable them to enjoy, love, and embrace life together.
What We Do
Angel Breaks provides vacation homes along the Atlantic Coast to families coping with illness. This enables parents, children, and teens who have a family member that is ill, whether it is a mother, father, sibling, grandparent, etc., enjoy a family vacation together. Area property owners donate their beach homes to Angel Breaks, and we in turn provide these homes to Angel Breaks Families. Angel Breaks works in conjunction with property management companies, rental agencies and local businesses to provide vacation homes to families, and enhance their vacation experience.
 
 

Changing Lives... One Vacation at a Time
Helping by lifting the strain for the entire family and establishing relationships with families in need of a week of fun and laughter
Providing vacation homes in various resort areas, such as Bethany Beach, Delaware; Rehoboth Beach, Delaware; Ocean City, Maryland; and Hidden Valley, Pennsylvania
Working with medical facilities, doctors, nurses and advisors in locating families, and helping by providing resources to families in need of a vacation.

The Angel Breaks Foundation was founded in February of 2008 by Marnie Oursler, a custom home builder in Bethany Beach, Delaware. After teaming up with best friend, Andrea Wilds, a nurse at Johns Hopkins Hospital, the groundwork of Angel Breaks was formed. Andrea works in conjunction with pediatricians, doctors, and advisors in the Washington, DC / Baltimore area at Johns Hopkins Hospital and Childrens Hospital to locate families that Angel Breaks can help. Marnie focuses on the resort and property management division of the organization to find homes and volunteers during vacation months. Together they form an unbreakable bond for Angel Breaks, a 100% non-profit organization.

Our Approach to Making a Difference
