I’m taking on the Sands crochet challenge!

I’ve committed to crochet a blanket for a very loved and much missed baby.

It’s coming up to anniversary of when we lost our Maddie. When she died I was stricken, heartbroken and in shock.  Seeing my wee girl wrapped in a ratty and oversized hospital blanket was even more saddening.  To be able to wrap these precious little bundles in the love and warmth of a beautiful handcrafted blanket, made especially for them, really can bring some comfort for grieving parents.

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.

Thank you.
