Location:

407 S Stearns Ave, Deshler, OH 43516, US

Mission Statement

Our mission is to provide exemplary support for grieving families and to train medical professionals and others to offer that same compassionate care.

Description

Sufficient Grace Ministries for Women, a 501 (c) 3 non-profit, non-denominational organization, was founded by Kelly Gerken in 2004, with the purpose of reaching out to women and families to offer comfort, encouragement, and hope, specifically for those who are carrying a baby with a life-limiting diagnosis or who have lost a baby through miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant death. A team of staff, leaders, and volunteers helps us offer the wide range of free services we make available to more than 1,500 bereaved families each year, both locally and worldwide, fulfilling the mission of SGM to offer the same comfort to others we received from the Lord in our time of need. In-person hospital support is offered throughout Ohio, SE Michigan, and Mid-Michigan by our SGM Comfort Team Volunteers who provide support, memory-making, resources, and remembrance photography, as well as follow-up support.
