A Kaysville family is raising money to put an Angel of Hope statue in their city cemetery in the hopes of giving families who have lost children a place to heal.
The Call family lost their daughter and sister Lola almost two years ago during a freak ATV accident while in Moab.
Call said he was in a difficult place and didn't think much of the statues at first when his uncle told him about them. But in December,cemetery and it inspired him to find the closest one. Call worked with Lisa Johnson, a self-proclaimed "angel representative" who helps expand the Christmas Box angels program to new cities. He attended meetings to work with city officials on pitching and approving the statue.* page to start raising money for the statue, and more than $22,000 has already been donated. Call ordered the statue on Wednesday, but the goal is to reach $35,000 to cover the installation, land prepping and base of the statue.
The angel statue will be placed temporarily in one area of the cemetery while a memorial garden is being built across the street in the cemetery to house the statue permanently. The angel statue will be the focus of the memorial garden, but the garden is meant to be a place for anyone to come and reflect, Call said.
