You're invited to Journey's Crossing as we support Anjela's Box to assemble gift boxes for Mothers who have experienced pregnancy or infant loss.
Anjela's Box is an organization that was created to raise awareness and break the silence around miscarriage, stillbirth and pregnancy loss. There is such shame and negative stigma attached to it. As a result, many parents who lost their child stay silent as they feel so alone and isolated. Many people have no idea of the magnitude of pain that parents and families go through unless they experience it themselves. Anjela's Box is a small voice that will speak volumes about this issue. It is a simple tool that can start conversations, touch broken hearts, bless parents, families and communities. Anjela's Box will be a reminder that every baby matters regardless of their gestational age. This can be a simple way to show those who lost their precious child that there are people around them that love and care for their families.
