She has had the privilege to work with many families who have been affected by perinatal loss and her work with the Angel Kisses family has greatly impacted and improved her ability to help those families.

Previous Board Members
ANNA LA FOUNTAIN
Founder
In September of 2008, Anna lost her beloved first born, Scarlette Rose. This devastating loss dramatically affected her life but Anna was determined to do something positive in the face of this tragedy. Anna decided to raise money for the “A Child Remembered Program” at Beaumont Hospital, which had been a tremendous comfort to her during her bereavement journey. With the help of two other grieving moms, her idea was transformed into a successful fundraiser and a lasting initiative to help others who suffer similar perinatal losses. Scarlette’s due date would have been February 17, 2009. On February 21st, the amazing moms that founded Angel Kisses hosted their first fundraiser, which raised nearly $6000! As Angel Kisses continues to grow and evolve, Anna’s vision and Scarlette’s spirit are a constant guiding influence to the work that the organization does.
