This week we are sharing a poem with you. It’s a poem that has caused many tears. My amazing sister wrote it so we could give it to those who are receiving our Angel Gowns. She said as she wrote it, tears just fell, and as I read it, tears fell. Neither of us have lost a baby that we’ve had to bury, but our mommy hearts felt the pain for those who have had to endure such a heart wrenching loss.
Imprinted in My Heart

I have a dress that was my daughters. Her marriage did not last and would like to see some good come from it!! How do we go about sending you our dress? Julie
I am interested in sending my gown to you for this project. How do we go about it? What costs are involved? Can we choose the hospital to donate them to? I had a premie granddaughter in the NICU for a long time. I would like to give then there where they mean so much to us. We can never repay the love and service to them, but this eould do my heart good to present them there. Thank you – Tracy

I would real like to donate my wedding dress. I was pregnant with twins at 15 weeks I lost one within that same week my father had passed away too. I had heard about this but never knew where to send my gown. My son is now 13 years old he dies have some health issue I really don’t know if it was because he was a twin. Can you please let me know how to go about donating my gown thank you.
I’m so sorry to hear, and especially that you had to deal with both losses at the same time. That had to be such a difficult time. We would love to have you donate your dress. What a great way to honor your angel. You can go to this link for all the details. https://realimprints.org/the-angel-gown-project/ Thanks Ragina!
Could you share the pattern? As a mom who has gone through this,I would love to do this with my own wedding dress for the hospital here.
We are so sorry you had to go through that. Yes, please email us at angelgowns@realimprints.org for the pattern.
My daughter would like to do this, can we donate to our local hospital?

I would feel blessed to have you do this with my wedding dress. I saw another lady who had it done and returned to her. I live just outside Charlotte,NC and would live to bless them with this,gift. Please let me know what I need to do to have this done.
God bless you Lindsey. Such a beautiful idea

Thanks Judy! I would feel out a form at this link https://realimprints.org/dress-donation-waiting-list and we will contact you when we are ready for your dress. We are actually working with someone to get some seamstresses right in that area so it may be local! May God’s blessings shower you for your generosity!
I have a wedding dress I would love to give to make gowns for angels, I am from North Carolina. Is there an organization in my area that makes these? If not how do I go about turning it over to someone who does? This is a very beautiful and amazing gift for families in such a tragic time to take some of the burden off of them to grieve and not worry about part of burial process. God bless you and others that do this!
I don’t know if there is an organization in NC. I would assume there is but I’m not personally aware of any. You can send your dress to us if you are ok shipping it. That’s how we get most of our dresses. We are also working with someone to see if we can get some seamstresses in Charlotte area but things are still in the works. Here is a link with more details if you have more questions. Thank you so much Ginger! https://realimprints.org/the-angel-gown-project/
I lost my baby girl when she was 17. She was killed by a drunk driver. I plan to donate my wedding dress in her memory. But not sure if they accept the color. It’s champagne color.
I’m so sorry. That is so horrible. I’m sure it’s been a long road for you. Thank you so much for sharing your story with us. Absolutely, we would love to use your dress for angel gowns!
I have a wedding dress that I would be honored to donate. It was my father’s gift to me for my wedding and he recently, suddenly passed away. He would be proud that his gift could continued to bless others in their time of greatest loss and despair. See, my brother passed away at 23 from a terminal genetic disorder, but was diagnosed at the age of 8. It was a long fought battle. As a mother of 3, I couldn’t imagine losing a child! So, I will complete the waiting list form and when you’re ready for my dress I’ll ship it from Ohio. I believe that what you’re doing is such an amazingly powerful and inspirational act. Your project is a blessing to many!
Thank you so much Melissa! It sounds like you have some pretty amazing angels watching over you. Thank you for sharing your touching story!
Hello. This cause is so wonderful, and I applaud your organization for doing it. I have a gorgeous gown that I had stored for 21 years.
Please tell me how I get this gown to you. Do I get to see the dresses, after they are made? I’d love that.
Thank you! We have seen so many miracles with this project! God sure loves these little baby angels and families. Here is a link to get on the waiting list https://realimprints.org/dress-donation-waiting-list/. You can choose to have them sent back to you, or to have us donate them for you. If we keep them, we can take pictures so you can see the sweet gowns your dress made.
