Provide gift baskets to mothers and fathers who have lost a baby to stillbirth
Pregnancy doesn't always have a happy ending. Sometimes a couple's hopes and dreams are shattered when a pregnancy results in Stillbirth.Our world stood still when we lost our sweet Faith at 35 1/2 weeks on Sept 3,2008. She had a true knot in her cord. Stillbirth can happen to anyone. It happens without warning to a seemingly perfect pregnancy to a perfectly healthy child. At the time of Stillbirth, a mother can feel alone and incredible guilt and responsibility for their baby’s death. On top of those feelings the thought of having to give birth to a child that is not living, is very frightening.
I hope to raise funds and items to support my efforts to give mothers and fathers a Faith Healing Basket after their loss. We that have lost our babies still have to go through labor and deliver our babies, but without the happy ending and without the congrats and gifts that follow the birth of a living baby. Our arms are left empty and our hearts broken. I hope that I can ease the pain of future mothers and fathers affected by Stillbirth by providing a basket of items that would have been so helpful to me during the first few days of my losing Faith.
