Sawyer's Heart Project - Our Wish List

Sawyer's Heart Project provides immediate support and comfort to bereaved parents who have experienced a pregnancy loss, stillbirth or the loss of an infant through the distribution of hospital memory boxes.

As most of you know by now, we have recently been welcomed by Angels Of Hope, Inc. NFP based out of Morris. They are a fantastic organization that supports families who have suffered the emotional or physical absence of a child.

It will be a few weeks before their website is updated with our information (http://angelsofhopeinc.org) so until then I will be posting our "Wish List" of items for our memory boxes here and on our Facebook page.

Thank you to everyone for your continued support and please feel free to share our mission with your friends and family.

-Plaster molding kit sets for hands and feet
-Receiving blankets
-Hat and bootie sets for newborns and preemies
-Newborn and preemie sleepers

Its wonderful that your getting things going and teaming up with others. I haven't heard about your pregnancy in a while, I hope its going good. I don't have FB so if you posted any news I haven't seen it. Think of you-

Michelle, I discovered your blog thanks to Julie Deardorff. I am so sorry for your loss, and congratulations on your pregnancy. Will you accept already-worn preemie clothes? I have 4-5 sleepers as my two-month-old was premature. They are quite girly though and one is a pants/top combo. I happy to send them but won't if they are not needed. I also have one of those handprints molds that I can send - is any brand okay?

Cindy - we can't take anything used unfortunately but would LOVE to accept the handprint mold kit that you have! Brands do not matter and every little bit helps us tremendously - thank you so much for your condolences and for supporting us!

Love, love what you are doing...sharing, because it is so lovely to have Sawyer still touching so many people. I'll send some items your way too. Thank you for your strength! Annamarie, Eve, and 1in100

Thanks for the clarification. What about new blankets that have been washed but not used?

Michelle said...

Cindy - that would be just fine!

Michelle said...

Annamarie - Thank you! And thank you even more for all YOU are doing to raise CHD awareness!
