Tre Angeli
was organized in August,
1997. It was formed by three individuals who worked in the District
Attorney’s Office of San Bernardino County. San Bernardino County is
the largest county in the United States. They worked with crime
victims every day. They saw their needs and knew of their
frustrations.
The First Angel,
David Poling, was a Deputy District Attorney. He took pride in
his work -- prosecuting individuals who caused such pain to others.
He could see, however, how some people suffered and he wanted to help
even more. In 1999 he left the District Attorney's Office to go into
private practice where he specializes in Victim Assistance.
The Second Angel,
Carol "Nicki" Anderson, worked
in the Victim Assistance Program as the Program Coordinator. She
worked directly with victims and their pain every day. There were
areas of victims' lives that could not be compensated by the state or
the county and she wanted to help by adding another resource for the
different victim agencies to be able to refer to. The intent being to
raise funds in the community to be able to help these specific crime
victims. She can be emailed at: mailto:DocHeartache@gmail.com
The Third Angel,
Linda Apodaca, also worked in the Victim Assistance Program as
a Victim Advocate. She has been trained extensively in crisis
intervention and did crisis and court work with the victims of all
types of crime. In her capacity as a Victim Advocate, she interacted
with victim service agencies nation wide.

In working with crime
victims on a daily basis, we know how hard it is to rebound after
having lost control of your life. We know how difficult it is to look
at life in the same way as you did before.
Tre Angeli
works in the areas
that are the most difficult to resolve. We provide assistance
directly as well as researching
the community to find individuals and other organizations who will
help.
