Wooster Window Wonderland

 
This was our first year participating in Wooster's Window Wonderland. During the event, we had a remembrance tree set up on Liberty St. where families could stop by and personalize an ornament and place it on our tree. The tree is currently displayed inside Liberty Commons and will remain there during the holiday season.  Over 75 ornaments were given out along with 200 bags of delicious Holmcomb's popcorn.  Thank you to the Romich Foundation for making our personalized elephant ornaments.

THANK YOU WCH HEALTHPOINT

for partnering with us for the annual Thanksgiving Day Turkey Burn.  We had a great turnout and raised over $940.00.  All proceeds will benefit Forget-Me-Not Baskets. 

Forget-Me-Not Baskets started with one basket. Since then, we have donated 8,500 more. Due to logistics and hospital storage our late loss baskets have evolved into boxes. Our boxes provide a nice keepsake for families. The board recently decided that our early loss bags are due for an upgrade, however this is no small task. Throughout 2022, we have held board meetings, created prototypes and discussed in detail what we would like to see in our new early loss box. The new box will include a custom stuffed elephant, a dated ornament and a few more comfort and remembrance items, increasing the cost by $15.00. We are planning a soft launch of these boxes in early 2023.

Our year-end ask is for your support of the new early loss box. This year we delivered over 820 early loss bags which averages to 68 bags per month. Our goal is to raise $12,300 (820x$15) to help offset the price increase for 820 boxes that will be donated in 2023.
WE NEED YOUR HELP.
You have the option below to donate and support this project. With your help we look forward to reaching over 1,000 new families in 2023.

Thank you to everyone who has supported our efforts in 2022.

FAMILY SPOTLIGHT
"WE WILL NEVER FORGET THE STORM"
We had the privilege to meet with the Spengler family earlier this year. Ryan and Brooke shared their story of loss, IVF and how faith did and still play an important role in their grief journey.
"One of the most important things you can do on this earth is to let people know that they are not alone."
