  • Timmy’s Angels is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that was founded in the year 2015 in loving memory of Timmy Byrne, who was only 11 years old at the time of his passing. This heartfelt initiative was established by his devoted mother, Sue Byrne, along with his oldest sister, Staci Sverker, who sought to honor his legacy through acts of kindness and community support.

  • We are dedicated to assisting the local communities in need. Timmy's Angels actively supports various locations throughout the Northshore and Chicago, IL. Our efforts strive to make a positive impact and offer valuable resources to those who require help.

  • Timmy Byrne was an 11-year-old boy from Chicago, IL, who tragically lost his life after being hit by a car, succumbing to the severe injuries he sustained in the accident. Despite his young age, Timmy was an organ donor, and his ultimate goal in life was to help others before prioritizing himself. Inspired by his selflessness, we wanted to do everything we could to help as many people as possible in his honor and in remembrance of his generous spirit.

  • We are operated entirely by dedicated volunteers who generously give their time and effort. Anything you can contribute truly helps; even the smallest of actions can make a significant difference in the lives of those we serve.
