"We seek to provide a beautiful one of a kind Angel Gown to every baby that needs one.
What a special way to honour their precious lives and to provide love and compassion for their parents, who's arms and lives are left empty by their loss."

"Volunteering has always been a significant part of who I am"
After 35 rewarding years in customer service, management, and regional training, I stepped into retirement almost ten years ago. This new chapter has granted me the time to pursue my passions and give back to my community.
Volunteering has always been a significant part of who I am, starting from my teenage years as a candy striper at Hamilton General Hospital to my current role with Railway City Angel Gowns in St. Thomas. This initiative holds profound meaning for me, as my husband and I endured the heartbreaking loss of our grandson during pregnancy. I dedicate myself to supporting families during their most difficult moments, offering them comfort and compassion.
Meet Kris!
Kris Novosel, a Retired Registered Nurse, co-founder Railway City Angel Gowns
Inspired by Barb Gillett Saunders' article "Angel Gowns for Child Loss,” published in St Thomas happenings.
Kris also has a background in organizing raffles and fundraising events during her nursing career. She found inspiration in creating angel gowns, viewing it as a therapeutic means to contribute positively to the local community and its growth continues, thanks to the volunteers' love, devotion, skill, and creativity
