Our group has experienced some painful losses. This is a friendly reminder that our BMB is a public internet forum. When it comes down to it, we don't "know" one another and taking up collections for these moms may not be the best idea. However, we also know that this group is filled with compassionate and caring women who may want to make a donation in honor of our Angel Babies.
Therefore, to avoid any accusations of a member being less than honest when "collecting" funds to help a grieving mother, I would like to suggest that you make a donation to March of Dimes if you wish to honor our angel babies. Below is the link you can use to donate using their online and offline options . You can either donate in honor of a specific baby or honor the D14 Angel Babies in general. If you donate, feel free to comment on this thread so these special moms know their little ones will not be forgotten.
Edit: As an FYI, it appears that donations between now and December 15th will be matched thereby making an individual $25 donation become a $50 donation to March of Dimes. Further details are in the link below. (I will remove this edit section after December 15th)
Thank you for this C&E. I worked for March of Dimes for many years. Anyone who is in need of support or information would benefit from visiting the site. There are many measures to show support in honor of a baby through their resources. And while I don't intend to drive people to other forums, you may find supplemental support through their NICU Family Support groups both online and IRL. Ask your NICU nurse for info.
Hey all! ZoeyH14 with a new screen name here! Thank you for the support! I came to stalk all of you and see how everyone's doing and this warms my heart. Thank you!
