Some people can only dream of angels,
I held one in my arms
Although the loss of our baby girl was the worst of our lives, we were constantly blown away by the kindness shown to us by not only those we knew, but by complete strangers. We knew we'd never be able to pay back all those who helped us over those 10 weeks and beyond, so we looked for a way to pay it forward and to help those who would be struggling and hurting as we had. A passion for crafts and a search for an activity that would help take our minds off the sadness of our loss brought us to beading and introduced us to our angels. We've committed to donating these angels to those suffering a loss like ours - hoping to provide a small bit of comfort.
Made small enough to hang on a car rearview mirror or safe spot around the house, we hope these angels can be a daily reminder that though we do not hold our babies in our arms -
they are always with us and will forever be our little angels.
Request an Angel
Unfortunately, as we've found through sharing our story and our journey, the experience we've had is more common than we realized. Talk to a friend, family member, or co-worker, and everyone knows someone that has a lost a baby. For us, that just means more people to spread our message of peace, comfort, and love through Josie's Angels.
Our goal is to send an Angel to those facing the tough road of healing we’re on.
