A precious baby girl named Rachel was seven weeks away from her entry into this world when her family was in a tragic car wreck. Mother and child were flown to Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta; however, a couple of hours later Rachel lost her life. The next day she was stillborn. ​From the lonely depths of grief the family went through in the next hours, days, and weeks - Rachel’s Gift, Inc. was born.
