Amie's Iowa Dress Drive


An old friend, Amie C, has one of the truest hearts I have ever seen.  I hadn't really talked with Amie in the last several years but I always thought I knew her heart.  She revealed her heart once again to me... and for the Angels...

Without warning, I asked if she would be interested in helping with a dress drive that could only occur in the space of about a week.

Amie didn't just climb on board with an AngelGown dress drive, but set the bar high...  her goal was 30 dresses.

Amie and her hubby delivered the results of her dress drive... 15 dresses, yes... 15 dresses.  To gather so many dresses in so little time from people that had most likely never heard of AngelGowns is nothing short of amazing. 

Amie's dress drive is much MUCH more than just 15 dresses... it is sharing, caring, love, and awareness.  Each of the donators.... and even those that couldn't donate but became aware, came together to share their blessings with this world.  It is a truly beautiful thing.

The Angels will feel your love.

Amie provided this photo for her friends showing one of the gowns/bonnets with a newborn outfit as a reference.



I am sharing Amie's photo because I think it really hits home regarding the size of our preterm clothing.  Know that the AngelGown shown is not the smallest we provide to the birthing centers.

Take a moment to see the blessings Amie and her friends gathered for the Angels*:

Of course, we all know that I am smitten with hot pink so you will see it showing up soon on some AngelGowns that are in process this evening.

thank you all so very VERY much for giving of yourself to the Angels.  Your donations allow us to make a difference in so many lives.


** Please accept my apologies if dresses are not accurately linked with names as many were donated without identification.  Please contact me regarding any inadvertent information as I am anxious to ensure identification is correct.
