Christian’s Purpose

Why We Exist

Christian’s Purpose is a recognized 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in Virginia. Our mission is to provide hope in times of despair. Our focus is on families dealing with the loss of newborn babies and children due to life threatening illness, defects and tragic accidents. We provide funeral assistance as well as other financial assistance programs providing caskets, grave markers and supplies for low income families and extreme cases of financial stress. Our many programs ensure the proper and respectful care these angels deserve as well as assistance for parents and families dealing with the accompanying grief.

What We Do

Our four major programs cover anything associated with a funeral for a newborn or child. First we pay the expenses to the funereal home and cemetery through our funeral relief program. Second we provide quality respectable caskets or cradles through our butterfly casket program. Third we provide headstones and grave markers through our memorial marker program. Lastly we provide bereavement services to the local Neonatal Intensive Care Units and area hospitals for grieving families. we work hard to become a point of contact at the immediate time of a child’s passing to unsure the overwhelming stress of planning and paying for a funeral is alleviated to ensure parents can focus on the necessary grieving and support through such a traumatic time.

Who We Serve

We provide assistance to any family needing relief when it comes to making final arrangements in the untimely death of a newborn or child.
