About Abbie's Smile

Our Story

Dedicated to Helping Children Smile

Abbie's Smile is a non-profit organization that was started in Memory of Abigeal Noel Ogle. 

 My name is Michelle, I am Abbie's mom.   Abbie was born on February 26, 2007. On March 3, 2007, just 5 days after she was born, I found out that Abbie was diagnosed with a rare chromosome abnormality called Wolf Hirschhorn Syndrome (4P-). She had a cleft lip and cleft pallet, club feet, a whole in her heart and had to eat via feeding tube. I spent every day at the hospital, cherishing every moment I was blessed to have her in my life. Sadly, on March 21, 2007, Abbie passed away in my arms.  She was only 23 days old. I felt robbed and that I didn't get enough time.  I questioned over and over "why my baby".  From that moment my life would never be the same.  I knew that Abbie's short life had a purpose.  Although I cannot explain why a newborn baby has to die, I do know that Abbie will never be forgotten. She has made an indelible mark on my heart and on the world. I started having a "birthday party" on her 1st Birthday, and every year after that.  I donated her gifts to kids that were sick.  I thought what better way to let her legacy live on than by helping children in her memory.  Abbie has undoubtably made me a better mom to her sister Ellie and her brother Hunter.  I know she is smiling as we make a difference in the lives of other children because of her.

   I believe that every child deserves to smile. The commitment to the children we serve is unwavering as we strive to create positive changes in their lives.
