OUR STORY

After realizing my daughters weren’t interested in wearing my wedding dress on their special days, I began to wonder how this cherished piece of my past could bless someone else. God soon placed an idea on my heart, and the journey began.

​

One day, while scrolling through Facebook, I came across a page that forever changed the destiny of my wedding dress. It shared stories of women donating their dresses to be transformed into infant burial gowns—a beautiful way to bring comfort to grieving families. Inspired, I discovered this was already being done in Montana, and I felt a stirring in my heart. With scissors and a seam ripper in hand, I began repurposing my own wedding dress. This act became a way to honor my mother, a gifted seamstress, and to pay tribute to two dear friends who had experienced the heartbreaking loss of their babies.

 

From this moment, the vision for this non-profit was born.

Since then, countless women have stepped forward to donate their wedding dresses, each one offering a blessing to families in mourning.

As a follower of Jesus Christ, I’ve been deeply moved by how God has used the Angel Gown program not only to comfort grieving families but also to minister to the hearts of those donating their dresses.

​

There’s something deeply spiritual about the bond between a bride and her wedding dress. Many women feel compelled to share their stories when they donate, and I’ve witnessed an outpouring of emotions. Some stories are filled with joy and fond memories, while others reveal pain and heartache, including tales of abuse or loss. Yet, in each story, there is healing. Women find peace in parting with their gowns, knowing they’re being used for a higher purpose.

​

The transformation doesn’t stop there—many of these donors feel so connected to the mission that they become volunteers themselves. It’s incredible to witness how God works through this ministry to bring hope, healing, and love to so many.
