Remembrance Box Making

This box making was different and very special in comparison to other box makings we have done.  We made over 80 boxes and each one of them was made in memory of a baby that was gone too soon.  Every one of those boxes was filled not just with supplies, but an incredible amount of love!  It was so beautiful to see families working in their baby's memory....knowing that the box they were creating would be given to another family facing a similar path.  What a labor of love!!  THANKS goes to all those who came and supported our event, those who donated and those who gave service that night in helping things to run smoothly.  A great big thank you to Becky Hancock who catered the event ALL FREE OF CHARGE with the most delicious food!  There are truly amazing people in this world!  People who are so generous and selfless and go above and beyond in times of need to help.  I LOVE that I get glimpses into this goodness.  It brings hope into what can seem like a cruel world at times.  It shows what we as human beings really are!   That we love and serve and support and look for those who stand in need of help and reach out to them!  How blessed we are to witness these acts of love and service!!

We are now just 2 days away from our "Remembrance Box Making"!  We are so excited!!  We have had a great response to this event and can't wait to work with all of you on Saturday as we honor our babies and help future families who will experience this loss.

If you haven't already signed up, today is your last day to do so.  You just need to click on our donate button to the right and remember to leave your baby's name in the comment section.  The event is this Saturday at the Marriott Convention Center (200 N.

Not only will we be making boxes, but we have received many donations from businesses who would like to participate in our raffle to help make our event a success!  We will be selling tickets that night for $1.00 or 6 for $5.00.  We have amazing prizes from places like:
