About the Children are a Gift Foundation

Who we are, what we believe, and how we serve families in Tyler, Texas.

Our Mission

The mission of the Children are a Gift Foundation is to enable families who have lost a child, have a special needs child, or are unable to have a child to find peace and support through the healing process.

Our Purpose

The purpose of the Children are a Gift Foundation is to support families who have lost a child, have a special needs child, or are dealing with issues related to infertility through support services, the development of educational services, and public event opportunities that are sensitive and relevant to the needs of these families.

Our Goals

  • To provide supportive services to families who have lost a child, have a special needs child, or are struggling with infertility.
  • To provide the public and medical professionals with educational opportunities that are sensitive to the needs of families who have lost a child, have a special needs child, or are infertile.
  • To provide public opportunities to memorialize a lost child, as well as honor the lives of living children.

Our Motivation

The Lord has been so good to us. He has directed us and opened the doors along the way. God has such a heart for children and hurts with the grieving. Jesus wants to pour out his love on us, we just have to let Him and receive it. If you have never experienced God's love or don't understand how He longs to have a relationship with each one of us, we would love to share Him with you.
