“I am a part of Micah's Children
Foundation because a child is a precious gift that God gives and
unfortunately sometimes they are taken away. I want to be a part
of helping those who might unexpectedly lose a child. I want those
families to know that when they think all is lost Micah's Children
Foundation can help and ease some of their financial pain and give
them the comfort of knowing their child will have the proper burial
