About Nells-Angels
In June 2001, Janell LaCombe, a native and lifetime resident of Pointe Coupee Parish, lost her battle with cancer. Her family and friends soon created the Janell Legier-LaCombe Memorial Fund in her honor. This non-profit organization was started with a simple purpose....to help and assist families who are battling with cancer and to encourage others to assist as well.
Nell's Angels is a Louisiana based, non-profit corporation in good standing with the Louisiana Secretary of State. Just like cancer, we do not discriminate based on race, religion, income or sexual orientation. All proceeds benefits cancer patients and their families in our community.
