About Abigail's Attic
 
Who is Abigail?
​
Abigail is a little one who was born an angel June 9, 2000, in Maui Memorial Hospital.  Abigail was anticipated by my sister and her husband as they were unsuccessful in having children for many years. Then they decided to adopt a baby named Jacob from Russia After they arrived home, shortly thereafter found they were pregnant with a baby girl they would name Leah.  Abigail would have been Jacob and Leah's little sister, and would have been my niece.  Abigail was a healthy baby in the womb the whole pregnancy up until the last week.  My sister knew something wasn't right this certain day while at the beach.   Baby Abigail was called home to be with Jesus. As soon as my sister received this heart wrenching news, she called me, in Grand Rapids and told me what happened.  I had to be there. I was on the next flight to Maui. Their minister picked me up at the airport and rushed me to the hospital.  I walked in to the room only to see them cuddling baby Abigail in their arms, not wanting to let go.  They gently handed her to me so I could hold her.  I made it to her an hour after she was born.  I am blessed to have held an angel.

This is Abigail's Attic.
Our Mission

 

It is the purpose of  Abigail's Attic to provide comfort and support to grieving families that have suffered the death of a baby. It was founded in memory of Abigail who was stillborn and in honor of all the babies before and after her that have touched our lives. We are a non-profit organization that donates infant / baby burial gowns and blankets to hospitals for bereaving parents. Women donate their cherished wedding gowns to the project and volunteers give of their time, talents and love by making the baby burial gowns and blankets.
​
It is very difficult to shop for a baby burial garment when a baby dies. For premature babies, it is often difficult to find something small enough. The baby burial gowns and blankets are given to Neonatal Intensive Care Units for babies who die in the neonatal period. They are also given to labor and delivery units for stillbirths. Each gift from Abigail's Attic will come with a special charm or bookmark keepsake.
Our Special Volunteers
 
All of our volunteers are very passionate about Abigail's Attic.  They devote many hours preparing each outfit.  Each pearl is hand stitched on the gown.  We meet at specified locations and sew, have fellowship and a light lunch.  If you would like to have an opportunity to volunteer with us, please contact us, we will reply back promptly!
