Carson's Fund

In September of 2000, the Stoner Family went through the most tragic event that any parent can experience—the death of a newborn. Although their son, Carson Grant was full term and things seemed to be fine, his tiny heart stopped beating during labor. “Never did his eyes meet our eyes.”

In his loving memory, the Stoner family has set up “Carson’s Fund” with Bethany Christian Services.
The goal of Carson’s Fund:
  1. To provide financial assistance for families with a demonstrated financial need who desire to grow their family through adoption beginning with New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware families.
  2. To support Stillborn research – especially in the area of helpful support and counseling of families who have experienced this unique loss.
  3. To enable special activities for children in care (orphanages, foster care), such as Christian Camp.

Tax-deductible donations can be made on-line at: www.bethany.org
Or by sending a check made payable to Bethany Christian Services to your *local Bethany Christian services branch office OR directly to the Grand Rapids National Office (Important: Please write Carson's Fund on the memo line of your check to ensure your funds are applied correctly):
