Kindhearted Couple Make Angel Gowns For Families Whose Babies Have Passed Away

John Wright, 81, has shopped at garage sales around Kansas City for around 10 years. He goes to them, hoping to find old wedding dresses, which he and his wife use for a special purpose. His wife, Diane, takes the wedding gowns and cuts them apart and sews them into tinier ones that are called angel gowns. The Wrights donate the angel gowns to parents who have lost a baby. Diane says she can make between 8 to 15 angel gowns from a wedding dress. She makes them so that grieving parents have one less thing to think about.

“The parents would have to go buy something,” Diane tells 41 Action News. “I can’t imagine how hard that would be to go and buy a burial gown.”

What the Wrights do reminds me of what Gerald Kumpula made for a grieving mother. It turns out there are a number of people like them in communities across the country who also help grieving parents like the Wrights do by donating angel gowns to their local church.

Share this touching kindness with your friends and help bring awareness to angel gowns.
