Donation to Provide a Stuffy & Book for a Family

We provide each family with a handmade turtle with the significance being "When turtles birth their babies, they do not stay with them for a long time however they are always eternally connected". These turtles have either a pink, blue or green shell to represent the gender of the baby they have lost. Along with the stuffy, we provide a book for the family that reflects their specific circumstances. Whether that be a book for the parents, living siblings or siblings that come after the loss of their baby. 

Donation to Provide Hand & Foot Impressions for a Family

This donation will provide the opportunity for a family to make hand and foot impressions, clay impressions and/or castings. A loss as concrete as this, having the opportunity to take home items that allow you to feel connected to your baby, are so healing in the grief journey.

Donation to Provide a Journal & Candle for a Family

Journaling has been proven to aid in the healing and grief journey. There are often so many things that go unsaid and giving families the opportunity to put their hearts on paper, can have such a positive impact. Our special Wave of Light Candle allows families to create a safe, calm space where they can feel the light and warmth of their baby with them.
