Give to keep their names on the wall.

Springfield Angel of Hope is a small, volunteer-run nonprofit. Every gift goes directly to the statue, the Memorial Wall, and the two ceremonies that have gathered our community since 2008.

Where your gift goes

A volunteer organization, by design.

Springfield Angel of Hope has no paid staff. There are no salaries to fund, no office to keep open. What we ask the community to sustain is the place itself — the bronze Angel of Hope statue and the Memorial Wall set within Washington Park Botanical Garden, kept tended year-round so that families have somewhere to return.

Gifts pay for the ongoing care of the statue site, the candles and printed programs at the Candlelight Remembrance every December 6, and the next cycle of inscriptions when families ask us to add a child's name. The wall reached capacity in 2016 and was expanded the following October; more than 1,000 area children's names are now engraved there, and there is room — because the community made room — for the names still to come.

Proceeds from A Walk to Remember, held the first Saturday of October during National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, are shared with St. John's SHARE and Memorial's Pastoral Care — the two Springfield hospital programs that walk beside bereaved families in the hours and days after a loss.
