Martyred Angels Foundation 501c3 Non-Profit EIN: 46-2509596 P.O Box 17423 Boulder, Colorado 80308 "Our mission is to provide community support to families struggling after the tragic death of a child" IN LOVING MEMORY BLADYN JAMES WAYNE VOGELS (MAY 30, 2007 - APRIL 9, 2011) EIN : 46-2509596 How We Started: Martyred Angels is the realization of a dream by our Founder, John Wayne Vogels, who tragically lost his 3-year-old son, Bladyn, in a drowning accident. Since that heartbreaking event, John’s vision has been to provide unwavering support to grieving parents, children, and family members Who We Serve: We provide community support to families struggling after the tragic death of a child, children who have lost a sibling or parent, and all Emergency Responders directly impacted by these tragedies Why We Do It: The U.S. National Center for Health Statistics reports that over children die each year in the United States. The loss of a child can profoundly impact parents, leading to long-term effects such as heightened depression, neglect of self-care, and serious health issues. Heartbreakingly, statistics reveal that 80% of marriages end in divorce following the death of a child. These devastating effects extend to children who have lost a sibling or parent, underscoring the need for compassionate support during such difficult times
