Wings of Love Mission:
“To ease some of the unexpected financial burden placed on grieving families during the tragic loss of their infant.”
Wings of Love is a program of the WNYPBN and was started in loving memory of Jacob Wesley Scott and his fellow baby angels. WoL provides financial assistance for burial costs to bereaved parents. Families can qualify for up to $200 to assist with burial expenses for infants up to one year old. For more information, contact Emily Doring at 716-626-6363, or fill out an application and mail to: WNYPBN, 150 Bennett Rd. Cheektowaga NY 14227.
As written by Christine Scott, founder of Wings of Love: “My son Jacob Wesley Scott was born still on May 27, 2000. Even though several years have passed, there is not one day that goes by that I don’t think of him, miss him, and love him. In his honor, I want to share that love and strength he has given me with all of the parents in our community who experience the loss of their child.”
“There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One of these is roots, the other, wings.”
Due to the restrictions and safety precautions required by New York State because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the WNYPBN has to restructure our annual events. In response to this series of unfortunate circumstances, the creative team has come up with alternatives to our annual events, while still paying tribute to your beautiful babies and helping others who are in need of assistance after the loss of their babies, while keeping our community safe.
Please visit our Events tab for information about our upcoming 2022 Events and Fundraisers. We hope you are all able to participate in one or all of our events as we adapt to our “New Normal” and continue to stay in good health and be safe. We are grateful for your support!
Thank you, Emily, Christine, Sue, Kelly and our Event Volunteer Committee
