Giving Tuesday 2021
Are you with us?
On November 30 we are raising funds on Giving Tuesday to support more Virginians who will, unfortunately, one day experience the loss of a child at any time in pregnancy.
We believe every family that faces a pregnancy or infant loss should have access to resources to help say goodbye with dignity and honor, and every hospital should have a cooling unit to offer that support.
Why support us?
While we can’t compare to other amazing organizations, we do provide free infant burial garments and support to help those affected by pregnancy and infant loss. This includes free access to a bereavement doula. We also raise funds to equip hospitals with cooling devices to give parents quality time with their infant to say a final goodbye.
Every month for the 25+ bereaved families who lose a child at one local hospital alone, Kennedy’s Angel Gowns’ work is a critical support to their experience.
Kennedy’s Angel Gowns is bringing awareness when there are no words, allowing the existence of every child to be real, honored, and remembered.
Your contributions will help provide the resources to the pregnancy and infant loss community so their child’s death is handled with love and dignity.

The Angel Box
Funeral Support for Pregnancy & Infant Loss
The Angel Box is a free infant burial kit complete with a free handcrafted burial garment and keepsakes. We deliver or ship overnight for free to any family that needs to cremate or bury their infant.
Your gift will support the hand-creation of the box, its content, and delivery. Did you know it costs an average of $65 to overnight one Angel Box?
