AFGHANS FOR ANGELS, Western Chapter - In Memory of Stephanie Dawn Meadows
Afghans
for Angels is an organization, headquartered in Sutter Creek, made up
of volunteers who make baby afghans that are then distributed to
hospitals. The afghans are stored by the hospitals and given to parents
who have suffered the loss of their infant through miscarriage,
stillbirth or infant death.
We
are now providing afghans to 20 hospitals, including Children's Hospital
Los Angeles, Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital in Ohio, White
Memorial in Los Angeles, Sonora Regional Medical Center, and Marshall
Hospital in Placerville. We also donate afghans to photographers who
generously give of their time and talent to the Now I Lay me Down To Sleep organization.
If you know of someone in need of one of our afghans, or you would like
to knit, crochet, or quilt small afghans for us, please contact us at
one of the options given below. We do have yarn available to those who
find it difficult to obtain yarn. More information on the organization
