We want to welcome you to the Afghans for Angels of Virginia and Southeastern Virginia Chapter Team.
Our team of dedicated volunteers seeks to minister to the needs of bereaved parents across the state of Virginia. To these families your talents can and truly do make a difference in their time of grief, loss and despair. Afghans for Angels is there in the worst of times and in the most difficult times of a parent's life, when they must say goodbye to the baby they planned, carried, and wanted so much. To them, your willingness to use your God given talents to help them in their time of grief, means all the world. We are there to give their grief acknowledgement, and to provide their baby with the dignity and respect that every child should have and deserves.
Thank you so much for becoming part of our team.
We have provided links below which will aid you in finding other volunteers within your geographical area.
To make this easier for you we have a map provided by the Virginia Department of Health and Statewide Perinatal Council. This is the same map which the hospitals we work with use in identifying and implementing perinatal bereavement support services in their geographical areas.
Look on the map for your general area of Virginia and then click on the link for that region number. There you will find contact information of all the volunteers in your area of Virginia. If there are no volunteers listed please contact our state coordinator Elizabeth Parsons, or Elizabeth Stickle, and we will try to put you in contact with other volunteers or fulfill any needs you may have ourselves. Feel free to contact other volunteers you find listed, as they have given permission for us to list their contact information. Often we find that volunteers within the same geographical areas like to get together and start workgroups or just spend time together while working on projects.
Again, we thank you for your willingness to become part of our team and we pray that this ministry will be as fulfilling and rewarding for you as it is for all of us. God is truly using each of us in His own special way.
Respectfully,
Elizabeth Parsons - Northern Virginia State Coordinator
Elizabeth Stickle - Southern Virginia State Coordinator
