On December 6, 1994, the first Christmas Box Angel statue was dedicated. December 6 is also celebrated as Children's Day all across the world. In honor of Children's Day, Appalachian Angel of Hope is proud to reveal the renderings of the Appalachian Angel of Hope Memorial Garden in Kingsport, TN. In just a few short weeks we will be launching our fundraising campaign to make this dream a reality. Our deepest gratitude goes out to our incredibly gifted chief architect, Mr. Jim Henderson who donated his work, time, and soul to pull all of the key players together to create these plans. We also thank landscape architect, Mr. Jeff Stapleton; and Mr. Marvin Egan of Egan Construction for their unmatched talent and support! Words cannot adequately convey how grateful we are to partner with all of these individuals and organizations including Alley and Associates, Holston Valley Medical Center, and the City of Kingsport. Stay tuned to learn more about how you can help support this project in Kingsport!

Something everyone should read.

It doesn't matter if it was an early loss or a late loss. What matters is that there was already a baby who was loved immensely.
