INTRODUCING OUR NEWEST GARDEN
GARDEN OF INNOCENCE/WASHINGTON, INDIANA


We are so excited to have our newest Garden in Washington, IN.  This is an wonderful example of a community coming together to do what is right in caring for its lost children. The Knights of Columbus are the originators of this new garden with help from the Boy Scouts and local citizens of Washington.  How wonderful is this!  Please watch their page tab to the left for more information from this newest addition to Garden of Innocence National.  One state at a time we will work to bring communites of volunteers together to do what is right and pass it forward.  Thank you Washington for stepping forward.





 

We had a great visit to San Francisco.  Spend 5 days in the city and visited all the coroners and Public Administrators around the bay area.  We will be caring for the abandoned and unidentifed children in the following counties:
San Francisco County
Sonoma County
Alameda County
Marin County
Santa Clara County
Napa County
Solano County
San Mateo County
We have an amazing volunteer in San Francisco, who will be the coordinator for all the counties, Special Agent Mike Gunn with the San Francisco Sheriff Department.  Also my dear friend from high school days, Ken Grant will be the point of contact for Solano County.
We need volunteers from each county so if you are interested, please let us know by emailing us at
goibayarea@live.com
Thank you to Mary Nardell for traveling with me and helping me keep to the right road.  Driving in San Francisco can be a challenge, so am very thankful Mary was my navigator.
Found a great spot to stay: The Handerly in Fashion square gave us a discount and provided a very nice rest.  Think about the Handerly next time you go to San Francisco as it is close to everything and easy access to freeway, Bart and cablecar.

**********************************
Our sincere thanks to Stewart Enterprises who are the ones that have donated space for us at area cemeteries.  We are so grateful for their kind heart in giving these children a beautiful place to rest.
If you are looking for a final resting place for a loved one, please contact Stewart Enterprises for a location near you.   They can be reached at

WHAT IS GARDEN OF INNOCENCE NATIONAL

We are a non profit public benefit corporation with one purpose -
To provide dignified burials for abandoned and unidentified children.

We have perfected our craft in our first garden in San Diego and want to teach others how to care for the babies in their area that should not have died alone.

We are going out across the USA to help people in other communities start a Garden of Innocence in their area.  We teach the processes involved and bring a  community  together to make this small life that was lost - leave a legacy.

We aren't going to the communities to take over, but to teach. We help people get started and then let them care for the children themselves.

State by State, we will be meeting people that have the same heart as we do and truly want to see that no child leaves this earth alone.  We don't want to see another child go into Potters Field or be scattered at sea with no on caring.   We Care!
If you feel you are one of the many people that want to see that all the children are loved and cared for, then let us know.  We'd love to meet you and help you start Garden of Innocence in your area.  This is a mission that will touch the hearts of your community and bring closure to issues in peoples lives.  
We give a child a name instead of a morgue number or "Doe".  This is a dignity that every human being deserves is to have a name of their very own.  Just a first name is all they need to set them apart from all the others.
If you build it, they will come.  Who will come?  People will hear about what you have done and will want to pay their respects to a little child that no one else wanted.  To make a difference in their community. 
To hopefully someday put us out of business.   Wouldn't that be nice!
