This month is Infant and Pregnancy Loss Awareness and we wanted to honor this month so we invited Linda to share her beautiful story of how she is impacting may families with her ministry He Knows my Name.
Linda’s impact in Indiana and beyond has included providing funerals and headstones for babies and children. These gifts are given to babies who are abandoned and to serve under resourced families. Linda has claimed 28 babies in several states and has dedicated over 120 headstones in 8 states. Linda has advocated for the Safe Haven Baby Box, which became a law in July 2018. The SHBB allows a baby to be safely surrendered anonymously without fear of arrest or prosecution.
Currently, Linda is focusing on raising awareness for Cuddle Cots, a cooling device used in hospitals, which gives the “gift of time” to mourning parents. With community involvement, He Knows Your Name has sponsored over 30 Cuddle Cots in 5 states hospitals, most in Indiana, making Indiana number one in the country. This has benefited bereaving families when they experience Infant & Pregnancy Loss.
Nationally, Linda appeared on The Steve Harvey Show, was a guest on ‘In the Market ‘ with Janet Parshall, The Harvest Show, and was a guest author on Ann Voskamp’s blog. Her story has been featured on dozens of radio shows and print publications. Linda has received the Jefferson Award from ABC, the McMiracle Award from The McDonald’s Foundation, United Way's 100 Heroes and the Fox News Community Hero of the Month Award.
