Kenley's Care Packages

[rslh10]

Hey Guys,

I know it's been kinda slow here, and I've been pretty MIA, but I need your help.

For Kenley's 2nd Birthday in December I'm planning to donate care packages to the hospital system where she was born. Last December I was able to donate 20 bags and I just recently found out that those bags were used within 6 months. I also donated (with help from other people and members here) pajamas, and crocheted hats. 

This year, I'm upping the donation to 40 bags, 40 girl pajamas, 40 boy pajamas, and 40 books for siblings if needed. I will be adding a few items to the care packs this year based on feedback and ideas that have come to me since donation last time. I have a few friends who have volunteered to crochet hats, and blankets for babies who are born sleeping, as well. I'm so thankful for everyone's help and I know that we can make this thing happen.

I'm going to leave the link to the website here that I've set up for her care packages. I'm starting donations early this year because of doubling the donations I'm hoping that by starting early it will give me adequate time to get everything here at my home, and assembled to be donated in December. I've also set up an Amazon wish list that way people can directly purchase items that are needed for the care packages. I know some people like to see where their donations are actually going. 

So, I'm just asking you to take a peek at the site. If you can donate or purchase an item or two from the wish list, great! If not, thats totally ok. I just want people to remember my sweet girl, and I want her to be proud of the things we are doing for other bereaved parents in her name. I miss her so much.

I would love to help make blankets and hats if you need more volunteers for that.

I honestly think that we can't have enough of them to donate! They said this:

Thanks!

They didn't show for me on your first post. I'm on tapatalk, so that might be why.

That's perfect. I already have a bunch of soft yarn in appropriate colors for another bereavement program I knit for.

Would love to! I have no discernible skills so I'll check out the amazon wish list

If you end up needing any more items, we received the book "tear soup" at the hospital and I'd recommend it. I actually don't know that we truly appreciated it at first, but it made more and more sense as time went on. I still reference it in my head.

We were recommended the book "we were going to have a baby but had an angel instead", as well as "something happened" and we received "grieving the child you never knew". The last one is more spiritual than anything (we received from a very religious family member...)

DS really likes the angel instead book, and I highly recommend it for parents with sunshine children.

I ordered a few things...

What hospital did you deliver at again? It makes me so sad that 20 bags were gone so quickly...

We delivered at Mt.Carmel East and had donated them at the beginning of December 2016.

Can you PM me your contact's name?  I have my NT scan on Wednesday and I have some blankets (cloth, not crocheted) that I would like to drop off for their loss team.
