We gently work with families in the days following the death of their little one to take impressions and create beautifully detailed stone casts of their babes hand & feet - memories to touch & hold for the days, months and years to come.

This service is provided absolutely free to families as we believe that having tangible memories of a wee one that was taken too soon is something that can and should be provided at no cost.

timesnap angel casts is funded personally by Vicki & Rob and of course, your generous support. We believe passionately that providing these memories for grieving families is important.

This give-a-little page has been set up to help keep this service free for families. The number of angels we meet has increased as awareness of timesnap angel casts service has grown.

Donations are used only to help purchase the casting materials needed to create these keepsakes and the beautiful laser engraved keepsake box each set travels home in. Rob and I will continue to fund all other costs <3

Vicki Soal's involvement (page creator)

I was called to create memories of an angel who had arrived too soon and had grown her wings. The next day I visited this beautiful wee girl and her incredible parents and together we created memories in the form of hand & foot stone castings.

Meeting Princess Aria and spending time with her parents strengthened our resolve that this service needs to remain available and free.

I work full time in my day job and this has, and continues, to fund angel castings in the Wellington & Hutt Valley areas.

A heartfelt thanks to you all...... 16 February 2018

It's been just over three years since this page opened and five years that I've been creating cast keepsakes for Wellington families. I'm constantly reminded how challenging it was at times for Rob & I to cover the costs of creating these keepsakes and I am forever grateful to you, wonderful everyday people who take the time, not to support us, but to support families in their darkest hours.

We fiercely protect every cent donated; using it only to fund the impression powder and stone we use to create casts and the gorgeous laser engraved keepsake box that accompanies baby's casts home to their Mum & Dad. Rob and I still personally fund everything else (and there's a lot), but we're so very appreciative of support for the raw materials.

If only I could share with & show you what it means to these families, you'd know how much your donation really does make.

xx Vicki
