Donations From the Heart

As I have mentioned before, several months ago, I became a part of our hospital's Perinatal Loss Program.  After I attended a conference on the subject, I realized our stock of items was just not what it should be.  I took it upon myself to contact organizations to see if they would donate items to our program, specifically burial gowns for our sweet intrauterine fetal demise's and stillborn babies.

That's how it started anyway.

Not only have I received literally hundreds of burial gowns, I have received micro preemie diapers, hair lock boxes, hats, booties, blankets, rings, a brand new digital camera and printing station for pictures, etc...etc...the list goes on.

Above is a small sample of gowns I received from the "Mary Madeline Project."  It is an organization that makes gorgeous burial gowns for babies of all sizes from donated wedding gowns.

I cannot describe the gratitude and thanks to these volunteers as I am inundated daily with packages of items.

Now...we have SO much stuff...I don't know what to do with it all.  Somehow I would love to "pay it forward."  Thank goodness for the fact that it would take us many years to go through our new supply. 

Praying for lots of healthy pregnancies and babies in the future!
