HISTORY & MISSION.
In the aftermath of an unimaginable tragedy, the Need an Angel Sons and Daughters Association (NAASDA) was born.
The journey began with the I Need an Angel Concert, a transformative event envisioned by Beersheba Abernathy to bring healing and inspiration to those in need. Her son, Michael Nathan Rudolph, was invited to be one of the main lead singers, a role he graciously accepted. However, fate had a cruel twist in store. Just before the concert and a few months before the birth of his first child, Nathan's life was tragically taken by a reckless driver. The profound loss shook the community, but it also sparked a powerful realization: at some point in our lives, we all need an angel.
In the face of this tragedy, the Need an Angel Sons and Daughters Association was formed, uniting individuals who recognized the importance of empowering youth and young adults to lead productive and healthy lives and make their dreams come true.
NAASDA has become a beacon of hope, offering programs and initiatives that provide young people with the tools, resources, and mentorship they need to unleash their potential.
From artistic outlets like music and theater to comprehensive training and life skills programs, NAASDA is a sanctuary for creativity, knowledge, and personal growth.
