Carry-On Bags: A Celebration of Lucia's Legacy

Saint John's Episcopal Church
South Main Street in Southampton
DONATIONS: contact Mary Sabo at 516.375.4707
Lucia's Angels is a foundation committed to helping women and families on
Easter Long Island with late-stage women's cancers including breast, ovarian,
cervical and uterine cancers. The foundation was created in loving memory of
Lucia Terzi Bagan. Lucia was a very giving person - no only of the material
sense but also of herself and her heart. It's no wonder she had so many friends
and family surrounding her in her final days. It was Lucia's wish that other women
and their families could have that same kind of love and support through their toughest
times. Lucian's Angels has provided help and funding for: babysitting, heating bills,
health insurance premiums, automobile repair, groceries, ambulatory trips, theraputic
massage, salon services, Broadway shows and wigs. From special wishes like one more
trip to the beach, to providing extra child-care, to holding of a hand, Lucia's
spirit and Angels will be there.
