Our Mission
We provide community support to families struggling after the tragic death of a child.

Grief Support Camps
For families to heal, connect, and find solace with others in a nurturing environment.
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 an accident. Since that heartbreaking event, John’s vision has been to provide unwavering support to grieving parents, children, and family members.
Why We Do It
The U.S. National Center for Health Statistics reports that over 50,000 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.
Who We Serve
We provide services to Civilians, Gold Star Families, Veterans, and children who have lost a sibling or parent, and all Emergency Responders directly impacted by these tragedies.
