Shortly after the article on us on The Good Things Guy went online Debbie contacted us to enquire on how to donate her gown to us. She couriered it to us and it arrived here while we were busy renovating the office. I opened the box, unwrapped the bubble wrap and found a beautiful note […]
Esme phoned me one day a few months ago to arrange for her to bring her daugthers’ wedding gown to us in Gordon’s Bay. Due to some personal reasons it was a while before we she got here. Her daughter heard of us through Nicci from NCOT, with whom she is training. I’m still amazed […]
My friend Moira had a tenant that was busy moving out and told her she’s going to throw her wedding gown away. Moira immediately told Annemie, the tenant, about TAGI and suggested us as an alternative. Annemie was much happier to donate her wedding gown to us knowing it will go to help grieving families.

Simone is a bereaved mommy and she got our details from Netcare Blaauberg, one of our beneficiaries. Simone is in the beginning stages of putting her own initiative together with the intent of giving other bereaved mommies a form of healing and memories. I met her one afternoon to have a chat about her initiative, […]
This wedding gown found its way to us through our Cutz and Clipz network. Though this gown appears simplistic at first with its lace bodice and button detail, it is actually quite impressive when you take a step back. Instead of a traditional veil, Praline opted for a cape in matching lace that encumbers the […]
