I’m crocheting for families facing baby loss
I'm crocheting for every much-loved baby sadly not here today.
This is something extremely personal to me, from the loss of my brothers Will and Beau and my own experience with baby loss, losing our baby: Teddy Mayes to an ectopic pregnancy.
Sands ensure that everyone affected by the loss of a baby gets the support they need and deserve when facing the toughest of times. They campaign for change, provide training for midwives and healthcare professionals, and support research so that fewer babies die and so that less families experience the tragedy of losing their baby. Anything you are able to donate means so much.
My Challenge is to crochet for 100 hours then to donate my items such as baby loss bears, forever blankets and baby blankets to the EPU, Maternity unit and NICU.
Every stitch is a way of saying: I haven't forgotten. Every row is knitted in memory of the babies taken too soon, and in solidarity with the families left behind. The funds you raise help Sands support those families - and campaign for a world where fewer babies are lost.
💜£25 - could provide a bereaved family with a memory box to help create and keep safe precious and lasting memories of their baby
💜£36.02 - could answer a call from someone reaching out for support who has been through pregnancy loss or the death of a baby.
💜£98.37 - could help ensure every hospital in the UK has a dedicated Sands volunteer to help healthcare professionals access our training, guidance and support.
Thank you.
