Bring the Angel of Hope statue to Long Island

Over the years we have tragically seen many children that have passed away. We have spent several years looking at ideas to do something special for all parents that have lost a child. Our search uncovered the Angel of Hope which has been received with overwhelming support. The Angel comes from a book called The Christmas Box, a best selling book by Richard Paul Evans who inspired this statue. In the story, a woman mourns the death of her little daughter by making regular trips to the child's grave, which is marked with an angel statue. The statue evokes a profound and miraculous connection between mother and child and helps convey valuable lessons about the true meaning of life to others. The simple story has brought hope to thousands of parents who have endured the death of a child. In 1996, in response to many spiritual reports that grieving parents were seeking out the statue described in the book, Evans commissioned an angel statue to be erected in Salt Lake City. Since then 60 statues have been brought to cities across the US. Now its time to bring it to Long Island. We will be embarking on a fundraising campaign to make this possible.
