Bella's Angels

What Bella's Angels does

Bella's Angels is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN: 26-1594604) founded in 2005 by Kerry Cavallo in Royal Palm Beach, Florida, after her daughter Bella was diagnosed with CHARGE Syndrome. The organization provides direct financial assistance to children in Palm Beach County living with lifelong physical disabilities, covering medical expenses that fall outside insurance coverage, including medical equipment, therapy sessions, medical supplies, and medical-related travel. It targets a specific underserved population: middle-income families who earn too much to qualify for public assistance but cannot afford comprehensive care for their children.

The organization's core service offerings are (1) a Financial Assistance Program providing direct grants to enrolled families, (2) Thea's Night Out, a free monthly Community Respite Program serving children with disabilities and their siblings (birth through age 11) at three church and school locations across Wellington, Palm Beach Gardens, and Boca Raton, and (3) Family Support Services offering emotional support, parent-to-parent mentoring, and community resource referrals. As of the most recent reporting, the organization serves 48 families across Palm Beach County, up from 26 families two years prior.

Bella's Angels operates a donation-based revenue model with no commercial product. Funding sources include individual donations through a tiered Annual Fund (Angel In Training up to $99 through Platinum Angel at $10,000+), planned giving (stock, QCDs from IRAs, estate planning), event-based fundraising (annual Benefit Bash, Nine & Dine Golf Tournament, Access For All Abilities Showcase), corporate sponsorships (Quantum Foundation, FPL, Lilly Pulitzer, CIBC), and foundation grants (Admirals Cove Foundation, 2019). The organization employs approximately 8-10 staff plus a 14-member Board of Directors, and as of March 2025 operates from its first physical office in West Palm Beach following 20 years operating from a mailing address only.
