Through out this grief there have been so many people who have helped me cope and carry on. Many of these projects have been started by families who, like myself, have lost their child. They are doing such beautiful work and helping so many families I want nothing more than to give back! Here are a few BEAUTIFUL projects that have personally helped me.
Non-Profit Organizations we would like to donate to:
*Enraptured Embrace: : A group of sisters who make quilts and other items of remembrance out of the clothing from the loved one who have passed. http://enrapturedembrace.blogspot.com/
I would like to raise $300 towards supplies for quilts for families.
*The Sweet Pea Project:Stephanie Cole after the death of her daughter Madeline, as a way to honor her memory and reach out to other bereaved parents.
The Sweet Pea Project offers comfort, support and gentle guidance to families who have experienced the death of a baby. Sweet Pea Project Blankets have been donated to hospitals across the country and a new Book Donation Project was launched in June 2010 after the release of Stephanie's book, Still. http://www.sweetpeaproject.org/homeThe Sweet Pea Project was created by
I would like to raise $300 towards Blankets, Shipping Costs and Books for bereaved families.
*Holden Uganda:
Holden Uganda was founded in December 2010 to spread the love of Christ with people around the globe. Our mission is to provide clean drinking water, through Artisan wells, to African communities.
Our initial project was to build nine wells in Uganda, representing the nine months of life Holden lived on earth. The Lord has blessed abundantly, and we have reached that goal as of 1/8/2011. We will continue to build wells for as long as they are funded. In the words of a dear friend, “When you are in God’s will there are NO LIMITS - don’t let it stop with 9!”
These wells provide HOPE. Between 500 & 2000 Ugandan people are given hope through clean drinking water with each well. Also, each well is dedicated to a baby or child who went to heaven before his/her parents, providing hope to the families.

I would like to raise $2000 ~the price of an entire well in Uganda Africa.
*S.O.B.B.S:

I would like to raise $300 towards S.o.b.b.s $10,000 goal.
*These are just a few of the projects we would like to help, as they help families all over the world every day enduring the pain of losing a child.
So far the "Donation Goal" which includes our "walk costs" ( food, water, supplies, etc.) and monetary donations towards other projects is $4,200!! Please help us meet our goal through monetary or donated services and goods!!
God Bless!
