When Ana Angel’s story got to rapper The Game and Drake, the pair were moved by her horrifying circumstances — and felt inspired to help.
Ana Angel, 30, is a mother of five. While Angel was at work Sunday, a house fire ripped through her home in Tiffin, Ohio.
At home was Angel’s boyfriend, and her five children. Sadly, no one survived the inferno, and Ana was only spared because she was working at the time.
The Game has a project called The Robin Hood Project, aimed at redistributing money to people in need — and Angel was not only left bereft at the massive tragedy, but also needed to bury six family members.
The Game posted on Instagram about Angel’s plight, in a lengthy note explaining what had happened and why he was moved to help her. (Spellings of Angel’s first name were given as both “Ana” and “Anna,” and it is not clear which is correct.)
Over on Instagram, The Game began:
“Meet Ana Angel, a mother of 5 who lost her 5 children & her boyfriend (father of her youngest) in a house fire early Sunday morning in Tiffin, Ohio. I can deal with a lot of things but people losing their children is something that kills me every time .”
He continued:
“Ana Angel was working her shift at Burger King when she was informed by her manager Pat Boes that her home had burnt down with her family inside it & no one survived. I cannot imagine the feeling she had at that moment & when I 1st read this story yesterday I just happened to be on the phone with DRAKE @champagnepapi & told him about it so he offered to help alongside me.”
The rapper concludes:
“So between me & DRAKE on behalf of @TheRobinHoodProject we split a $20,000 donation both donating 10k apiece as well as @51minds (Marrying The Game producers) choppin in with $2,500 so that Ms. Angel can afford the funeral costs for her 5 children & boyfriend as well as a point A to B vehicle. I want to thank Pat Boes for helping us locate Ana Angel & spokesperson for the family Keith Hodkinson for helping us get the $ to her in her time of grief.”
The Game says anyone interested in chipping in to helo should contact the Anna Angel Donation Fund, ? US Bank, 730 West Market Street, Tiffin, OH 44883.
