Serve With Purpose
Volunteer with Us
Your time provides grieving families with a cradle to hold their baby—a sacred, tangible expression of love during an unimaginable loss.
Offer Comfort in Heartbreak
Whether you knit, crochet, sew, tag, organize, or assist with administrative tasks, your unique skills will be used to bring hope and healing to hurting hearts.
Use Your Gifts for Good
Each cradle is a sacred tribute to a precious life created in the image of God. Your service affirms the inherent value of every baby and offers grieving parents a dignified way to hold their child.

You may never meet the family it reaches—but your love leaves a lasting legacy, reminding them they are not alone and their baby is remembered.

Work Nights at Bridget's Cradles HQ
Tanya Horn, Wichita Volunteer
I am thankful for Ashley, her team, and the vision Bridget's Cradles has for grieving families.
Bridget's Cradles has given me the opportunity to pray over hundreds of cradles as we assemble them, which has been very healing for me and warming to my soul to know the cradles are giving a family facing loss a bit of comfort during such a difficult time. God has shown up in so many ways while serving with Bridget's Cradles! It has been such a blessing in my life to be part of something so amazing.
Mandy Beck, Wichita Volunteer
Bridget’s Cradles is such a priceless organization and one that I am proud to volunteer for.
I felt lost with nowhere to put all the grief I was experiencing. My life had been changed by the miscarriages of my nine babies in Heaven. I was hurting, but so were these other families, and this was such an incredible way to create meaningful things for other hurting families in memory of my own babies. There was finally somewhere for my love and grief to go now. I had lost sight that this kind of hope is eternal and not of this world.
Maria Le, Crocheting Volunteer
Being a part of this ministry that is so much bigger than I am, I have found a continuous way to serve.
Bridget’s Cradles was exactly what I was looking for during an unfulfilled time in my life. I am a true believer that things happen for a reason. The day that I met Ashley while working at my job, I knew God had put into motion the start of my service to this ministry. Bridget’s Cradles is a way I can provide a fraction of ease for the mothers and fathers going through such a hard time, one that has shaken them to the core.
Valarie Mariola, Crocheting Volunteer
It is my goal to provide them with a personal hand-made memory to embrace them with love.
I can’t imagine the grief that comes from holding a sleeping baby like many of the families served by Bridget’s Cradles feel. I wish my goal could be to never make another cradle again. Never to have anyone suffer such a loss. But as long as there is a need, I hope to be able to serve to show that there is support and love that will embrace a family during such hardship.
