Mission & Values

Mission Statement

On Angels’ Wings provides ongoing support and grief recovery services for families who lose a child at birth or have a child with a life-limiting diagnosis. Services begin with free therapeutic photography, and mental health and wellness support continues for the entirety of a qualifying child and/or family’s journey, all free of charge.

Celebrating life. Encouraging hope. Ongoing support.

Compassion

At On Angels’ Wings, compassion drives every interaction, guiding us to meet families with understanding, honoring their unique experiences and emotions. We recognize the depth and longevity of uncertainty and grief, and we are dedicated to offering not only support services, but a sense of comfort and a space for healing. Our commitment to compassion means we approach each family’s journey with gentleness and unwavering support.

Integrity

Integrity is at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to transparency, accountability, and honesty with families, partners, and donors alike. Every decision we make is intentional, with clear parameters to uphold the quality of support we provide. We remain steadfastly devoted to the highest ethical standards, honoring the deep trust that families place in us during their most vulnerable times.

Community

We believe that healing happens best within a supportive community. On Angels’ Wings is tasked with bringing together families who can understand each other’s unique journeys and grief like no one else can. Through fostering connections across Missouri and beyond, we cultivate a network of people who are there to uplift, validate, and care for one another. We’re committed to building this community wherever we serve so that no family feels alone in their journey.

Inclusivity

On Angels’ Wings serves all families, regardless of race, ethnicity, class status, religion, gender identity, or orientation. We believe that every family deserves respect, care, and equal access to our services. Our commitment to inclusivity means we are constantly working to break down barriers, provide culturally sensitive support, and create a welcoming space where every family feels seen, heard, and valued, regardless of their unique backgrounds and experiences.
