The human-animal bond has been a personal and professional passion that drives Steimer to collaborate with more partners, across the state, who will benefit with pet therapy to inspire confidence, compassion, and best behaviors in children. Gabriel’s Angels mission is more important than ever as so many kids have been challenged in this past year with the COVID-19 pandemic.  Melissa personally is mom to two teenagers, Charlie and Grace and has five dogs.  You can easily see how she can be passionate about this mission.
