About us

The Guardian Angels Foundation is a charity dedicated to the experience of people at the end of life, and to supporting those who care for them.

For us, dying is an action verb that implies being alive

Our Origin

The Foundation was born from a deep conviction: no one should die alone. The initial idea of the project emerged during a working session with Ms. Gina Marmen when Thierry Leuzy envisioned a network of trained volunteers capable of offering a glimmer of peace to any human being dying alone.

Over time, the Foundation’s dream evolved to include:

  • Training geared toward loved ones, caregivers, volunteers, and professionals.

  • The creation and sharing of spiritual legacies preserved in an online gallery-type library.

  • The promotion and development of experience-based research and the development of projects focused specifically on the subjective experience of the end of life.

In Three Dimensions

To watch over. To console. To raise awareness.

Our mission is to enhance the subjective experience of the end of life in three realms:
Presence as a glimmer of peace.
Wisdom: the knowledge of living well, the skill of caring, and the art of dying well.
To create, conserve, and transmit spiritual legacy projects.
