An American Angel™ is a new made-for-TV series showcasing some of the millions of people out there in America who regularly give special miracles to people they don't even know.
An American Angel™ is much more than a media concept. It is a belief in what we know exists in our country. It is the compassion that lives in the hearts of Americans and it is about Americans taking care of America.
When neighborhoods and communities see that good and decent people, who give of themselves to others and have hit hard times, they step in and make a difference. We will be there to help make miracles possible. We intend to show the world what really makes this country unique.
