Lachlan's Story

Our Mission
Mission:
To assist parents, who are facing the death of their baby, in creating memories of their beautiful children that they can cherish for a lifetime.
Goals:
To provide parents with stationery for hand and foot prints, envelopes for a lock of hair, baby products for the baby
'
s first and only bath, kits to create three dimensional hand or foot prints, burial clothing for extremely premature babies, blankets to wrap their child in (and use in burial if they wish), matching travel blankets to keep as memories, memory books for poetry and pictures, disposable cameras, and a keepsake item for the parents.
Notes:
Losing a child is an unbelievably difficult journey. When parents lose a child before they have the opportunity to bring them home, there is very little time and few resources to create the beautiful memories that they will cherish throughout their lives. A few minutes, hours, or days, is never enough time to have with your child. Parents will forever try to recall every detail. It is my hope that by providing these parents with resources that they do not have the time, or the presence of mind to seek out, that we may assist in their journey of healing. Some parents leave the hospital without their child and without anything to remember them by; neither of these things should ever have to be endured by anyone. The pain is great regardless, but my experience tells me that it is better to remember and have memories. My son's memory leads me to this cause.

This is an example of a bereavement package that would be given to the parents of a precious child, gone too soon.
