PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania (WPVI) -- 'Anna's Angels' is an organization dedicated to helping families battling cancer. The Myers family is a perfect example, in which 13-year-old Joey is finding things to be thankful for despite his diagnosis.

Anna's Angels founder, Libby Caranci, used the power of Facebook to surprise Joey with a pet pug. She also connected the family to a construction company, which built them a backyard ramp at no cost.
