Our Spotlight Foundation

At that time Cliff and I, were traveling with his job in McAlester, OK, which has an abundance of low-income families with infant death rates being very high. During the long days while Cliff was working, I found that crocheting tiny blankets brought me some comfort. Two of my friends from high school also started making blankets and sending them to me. The little blankets started to stack up. I then started buying baby flannel to make tiny Angel Gowns as I felt as though God had put on my heart to prepare burial garments for grieving parents. Our stay in Oklahoma ended and we headed back home to Louisiana.
After getting home, I couldn't shake the feeling that this was what God wanted us to do. It soon became a passion for the both of us to provide garments to families who had lost babies too soon. One morning as I sat on the edge of the bed, I prayed a very simple prayer. I told God that this was His ministry and we needed some help if this was our calling. Within a week, God started to open doors. Ladies were calling me to volunteer their time and special talents. In 2017, Born with Angel Wings became a reality as we officially received our status as a 501c3 Non-Profit Organization.
We now have 3 groups in 3 parishes that meet for workshops to volunteer their talents. Our workshops are a time for everyone to share their passion, work together, share ideas, meet new friends, and reunite with old ones. We are currently up to 25 hospitals in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Oklahoma. We are always looking to expand our ministry.
We provide our hospitals with beautiful Angel Memory Boxes, which are given to grieving parents at no charge to anyone. This ministry is dedicated to our own angels, and those of our volunteers. We keep them in our hearts as we dedicate our time to comforting those who have shared the same losses.
