Bill and Shannon Jeralds
In 2005, Bill Jeralds had a life-altering situation. His body began failing so he was placed on a ventilator in a drug induced coma for several weeks. With no hope of saving him, his doctors requested to end his treatment. However, his wife Shannon, refused to give up on him. Miraculously, Bill recovered. Two years later his Mission unexpectedly emerged. With no earlier experience or inclination towards woodworking, and no recognized talent for drawing, Bill was suddenly able to create visually stunning Angels from rudimentary images drawn on plywood planks. Bill and Shannon’s angels are displayed and sold worldwide and have found their way to President Barack Obama and the White House, the Pope, and actress Halle Berry to name a few. Living his mission, Bill said, “I want our Angels to give hope to those in need and to remind others that nothing is impossible. I am blessed to be able to create these Angels and to see the joy they bring to others.”
