Angel Baby Funeral Grant
sponsored by Kennedy’s Angel Gowns
At Kennedys Angel Gowns, we understand the financial burden that comes with burial or cremation expenses, especially during such a difficult time. That’s why we offer the Angel Baby Funeral Grant, a program aimed at providing financial assistance to Virginia residents in need. While we may not be able to fulfill every request, our unwavering commitment to supporting those in need means that some assistance is generally available. Your support through a donation can make a difference in helping us continue to provide this vital grant to families facing heartbreaking experiences. Join us today to lend a helping hand and provide comfort during this challenging journey.
The Cooling Unit
Helping hospitals give the gift of time
Kennedy's Angel Gowns raises funds to donate a cooling device such as the Cenotaph Cradle, CuddleCot™ or Caring Cradle to local hospitals. These are a cooling system that allows parents to keep their infants near and gives more time together. You can help us equip more hospitals by making any donation to the Cooling Unit Campaign to give bereaved parents this precious time with their infant.
A Caring Cradle was donated for the first-ever Butterfly Room in 2019. The dedicated bereavement room for patients at Norfolk General Hospital was funded through Kennedy's Angel Gowns by donors like you. Imagine if every hospital in this country had a dedicated Butterfly Room equipped with a cooling unit for parents grieving from pregnancy and infant loss!
The NBC television series New Amsterdam featured a Cuddle Cot™ in an episode on November 12, 2019. It has brought more awareness of pregnancy and infant loss as well as the importance of a cooling device.
