I have been blessed to have the opportunity to be a volunteer for a
wonderful organization called "Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep".
This non-profit organization offers infant remembrance photography
as well as providing online resources for families and caregivers of
terminally ill or deceased infants. Donations are tax-deductable. If you
would like to learn more please click the NILMDTS link to the left.
I have just recently been introduced to and begun
participating in The Missouri Heart Gallery Project.
Here is a description from their site:
The Heart Gallery was founded by the New Mexico Children,
Youth and Families Department in 2001 as a unique way to
help children in foster care who are waiting for adoptive
families step from the shadows into the light. Stirring
portraits, which reveal the children's amazing spirits and
individuality, have helped many find permanent, loving
homes.

This is a new organization that I recently got involved with.
It is local (Greater Kansas City Area). We work with
different child service organizations as property
management, to provide safe, clean, facilities that are
needed for these organizations to house children in need.
I am really not great at explaining our role so you should
take a look at their website. Just click the link to the left.
The Grace Calendar for charity is a new
annual project for Staley Wessel Photography
featuring children from our own Greater
Kansas City area with 100% of the proceeds
going to a charity that benefits local children.
Please visit the Grace Calendar website for
more details.
