Ways To Support

Grief is often accompanied by urgent decisions and unexpected expenses

Parents may need to choose a funeral home, arrange a burial or cremation and plan a service while trying to understand how they will pay for it. Some are already managing medical bills, reduced income or other financial pressures connected with their child’s care.

Angels for Allison helps qualified Northeast Florida families cover funeral expenses after the death of a child between 20 weeks of gestation and 18 years of age. Your support gives families greater choice during an experience that can otherwise leave them feeling powerless.

A financial contribution is one of the most direct ways to support our mission.

Your donation helps cover approved funeral expenses for families who do not have the resources to pay the full cost themselves. Once a referral has been reviewed and approved, Angels for Allison works with the funeral home selected by the family and sends payment directly to the provider.

Funds are not distributed as cash to families.

This process allows us to support grieving parents while maintaining responsible oversight of donated funds.

Make a One-Time Gift

A one-time donation helps Angels for Allison respond to immediate needs.

Every gift matters. A donation does not need to cover an entire funeral to make a meaningful difference. Contributions from individuals, families, community groups and businesses are combined to help provide approved funeral grants throughout the year.

Your gift may help a family pay for a casket, urn, burial, cremation, memorial service or another approved funeral expense.

Most importantly, it gives parents more freedom to make choices that honor their child.

Become a Recurring Donor

Monthly giving provides reliable support throughout the year.

Referrals do not arrive on a predictable schedule. A steady base of recurring donations helps Angels for Allison respond when families need assistance, not only during major fundraising campaigns or events.

A monthly gift also allows donors to make a lasting contribution at an amount that works for their budget.

By becoming a recurring donor, you help create stability for the mission and make it easier for the Foundation to plan for future needs.

Help Us Be Ready for the Next Family

A family may be referred to Angels for Allison tomorrow, next week or later today.

We cannot predict when the need will arise.

We can make sure support is available when it does.

If your address, email or contact details have changed, please use our family update form so that we can continue sending Angelgrams, memorial service invitations and relevant Foundation updates.

Your donation, sponsorship, volunteer time or community connection helps a grieving family make funeral decisions with greater choice and dignity. It helps reduce one financial burden during an experience that already carries more than any family should have to bear.

It also carries Allison’s joyous spirit forward through practical acts of love and generosity.
