Welcome To Addies Angels Page

Our friend Addie Killam was paralyzed in an accident while vacationing in Hawaii over spring break. During a surfing lesson Addie became paralyzed from the ribs down.

Addie was treated at Craig Hospital in Colorado which specializes in Spinal Cord injuries. While in treatment some amazing people worked on a West Seattle home to get it good and wheelchair accessible.

Addie is ramping up to do the Mike Utley Foundation’s Dam2Dam fundraising ride. More information on how you can help support Addie's ride is coming shortly so check back with us.

Any well wishes for Addie or her family should go to her Caring Bridge Site-Link listed to the left of the page.

A Great Day of Work and Great Neighbors


It was a hot one today and there were so many of "Addie's Angels" who showed up to lend a hand. There is still much to be done so.....calling all of those friends, family, general "do-gooders", volunteers and strangers, YOU are still needed and GREATLY appreciated!

Many people stopped by to say "hi" bring brownies, cold drinks, snacks, the list goes on.

We would also like to give kudos to the fantastic neighbors and passers by who stopped to introduce themselves and buy a cup of lemonade on this hot day. You're welcoming Addie to this community is fantastic and one of our littlest volunteers is able to make a $43 donation to the Addie Killam Benevolent Fund at Washington Mutual.
