Project 11

Description

We provide care packages to hospitals so they can supply them to grieving parents that have experienced a second trimester miscarriage. Volunteers are what helps us run and continue to support care package efforts. The goal is to expand our hospital outreach and in order to do so, we need assistance crocheting, sewing and increasing fundraising efforts.

Our hospital care packages consist of two key items; a "Swaddle" and a "Thomas Cradle". The Thomas Cradle is made of several layers of different material, sewn together. It's used to provide stability when baby is being held, as well as aiding in keeping baby's delicate skin hydrated, an essential part of delaying our bodies natural process to decomposing, thus improving the quality of time a parent has while holding their baby. The swaddle is a handmade crochet blanket type item that goes around the Thomas Cradle and snuggles baby, serving as a beautiful keepsake for parents long after they leave the hospital. Additionally, there are several other items inside each care package to hopefully bring a little comfort to the recipient.
