Who We Are
The Angel Breaks Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting families coping with illness enjoy a vacation. The objective of Angel Breaks is to fulfill the lives of children affected with illness with a week of enjoyment and a break from the reality of their circumstances.
What We Do
The Angel Breaks Foundation provides vacation homes along the Atlantic Coast to families coping with illness. This allows parents, children and teens who are ill enjoy a true family vacation together at the beach. Area property owners donate their beach homes to Angel Breaks for one-week increments, and work with various property management companies and rental agencies in providing the homes to the families.
 
 

Changing Lives... One Vacation at a Time
Establishing relationships with families in need of a week of fun and laughter
Providing vacation homes in various areas, such as Bethany Beach and Rehoboth Beach, DE; and Hidden Valley, PA

Angel Breaks was founded in February of 2008 by Marnie Oursler, a custom homebuilder in Bethany Beach, Delaware. After teaming up with college roommate and best friend Andrea Wilds, a nurse at Johns Hopkins, the groundwork of Angel Breaks was formed. . Andrea works in conjunction with Johns Hopkins and other Batltimore and Washinton DC hospitals. Marnie focuses more on the vacation/resort areas of the organization in finding homes and volunteers during the vacation months. Together they form an unbreakable bond for Angel Breaks, a truly non-profit organization.
