Execution of excellent community service projects is one of the hallmarks of the NAAWLI experience.    

Angela Lundy, Fellow, Class of 2006, implemented a project to address a passion and fill a void.   Her project is entitled “A Widow’s Mite” and was established to facilitate delivery of donated, used devices (canes, walkers, oxygen equipment, portable ramps, capTel telephones, light flashers, etc.) which are used to assist in the physical rehabilitation of persons with challenges (physical, mental, and sensory).  Needs for devices can be met immediately when persons do not have insurance, cannot afford to purchase them or are waiting for long-term assistance from government agencies.  She was awarded a combined city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and government grant to provide accommodations for disabled homeowners and her efforts were featured on www.philly.com:  . 

Angela is the founder and executive director of Interfaith Specialty Services (ISS) which provides unique services to the disabled by providing consulting expertise to organizations on how to care for the disabled with a focus on ensuring access to religion, education, and culture for persons with challenges.  Her project is featured on the site: ww.issinc.org.  Questions regarding additional information or financial support to this 501 c(3) organization, can be sent to Angela at:

Angela’s religious convictions fuel her efforts” … God is able to do exceedingly abundantly beyond even what we think to ask.”  Angela recently launched a new ministry – Physically Enabled and Cognitively Empowered (PEACE) to promote the freedom of religion for all people.  She is an ordained minister, an accomplished musician, an author of her personal story” Uphill Journey”, and an advocate for disability rights.  Angela knows first hand obstacles that are faced by those with challenges as she is profoundly deaf.  We are in awe of Angela’s accomplishments and wish her continued success in this ongoing endeavor.
