How Heavenly Angels in Need started

This video was made in 2003 when H.A.I.N. first was started. The info is no longer accurate (address & phone) and the video is made a bit cheesy but I hope you enjoy...

Craft Buddies

Craft Buddies is a wonderful group who do many types of crafts, from needle work to woodwork. They are just crafters that chat, share and more. Some of their members decided to help H.A.I.N. and this is the second large donation this wonderful group has given to H.A.I.N. This is just a FEW pics of what they sent. There were lots and lots of donations.

Thank you Craft Buddies!!!

a HAIN members donation

I thought they were so pretty I had to share. These went to a Florida hospital.

Little hats for babies

These hats were made by Angie. She is a wonderful volunteer in H.A.I.N. These hats will warm a babies head and can save their life. If you are interested in knitting, crochet or sewing hats for premature babies please go on our website and see how you can help :)

Praying for the Unborn

Last night was a sad day for the unborn and for our nation. The unborn will be the sacrifice of our decisions. I am asking you as people to please get on your knee's and pray for the unborn, pray that the Lord protects them. Its not new that abortion exists. However what is going to be put into place is far worse. Many, many, many abortions all the way to term will take place and will be legal to do so. Infants who survive an abortion will be smothered, left to die or drown and it will be legal. Its a sad day for our nations infants. H.A.I.N. is about helping babies and children in need. We do not limit what babies mean. I do not feel that talking about abortion is political but about the dignity and rights of a human being.
I will not be quiet, I stand up to help ALL babies and children in need, no matter what gestation.
If you are interested in having a particular day for a prayer vigil for the unborn, please let us know!

OCT 15, 2008 Remember our angels in Heaven

Light a Candle for your baby tonight!

Remembering our angels. Loss of an infant, child or any family member is so hard on all of us. Please remember to understand that when someone needs to talk "let them".
Remember when the family who experienced loss needs to cry " let them".
Remember if they need to get mad "let them".
If they need to pray "let them".

Consider lighting a candle tonight at 7 pm tonight in memory of someone you love.
This month is infant loss awareness month!

I already talked to PAC and because they do not have a building yet to store items we agreed to collect and store items until we heard from them on where to bring items. Please help us help this wonderful ministry of helping families touch the lives of those who need our help!!

Ebay/mission fish and HAIN

The link above is our permanent link for any listing that benefits H.A.I.N. keep an eye out for more listings..or maybe ebay picking HAIN has a charity to benefit. Do a search for Heavenly angels in need and help HAIN!!

2 recent emergent request

We usually have a spreadsheet we have with lists of places to give to and our volunteers pick a place and just send something to a need off of the list. However randomly we receive an emergent request. One request recently was for a casket.
We were able to provide a family a casket we also sent burial clothes and a memory box. It was wonderful to see how our volunteers all came together to get this request done. And also the funeral home that helped donate a casket to this family who was in great need.
Then another came and with in the next day the parents were being sent a quilt, memory box, burial clothes, and more.. It was wonderful to see how quickly our volunteers were able to meet the needs of another emergent need.

I have to brag and say our volunteers are priceless!!!

Serving bereaved families

Here are a few questions I am asking so we can serve bereaved families better as an organization. I am asking this from all who feel like speaking up!!

We offer memory boxes for parents after losing a baby (heavenly angels in need does). What type of art or sayings are appropriate for us to use to decorate on these boxes? What colors? What kind of thing would you want inside the box? Would you want something that has teddy bears, butterflies, Asian symbols, basically what is appropriate to you for us to decorate the boxes with?
Thank you for this. We are really working on striving to give what is needed and wanted. But want to ask direct from the families and whomever can help as much as possible!!
Also,we are also considering personalizing boxes. Like have parents send us a "copy" of a picture of their baby and we could decoupage the picture onto a box. This is for parents who did not get anything such as a memory box when they were at hospital. Not for parents who did.
What do you think about this idea?
