Day 19. Project Have you worked on any projects inspired by your loss? They could be anything from an art project to organizing memory boxes for a hospital. If you have not yet done a project you could share something that you would like to work on.
Day 20. Charity/Organization Share your favourite charity or organization that has touched your heart on this road of grief. If you don’t have a photograph to share, just simply post the link to their website!
I bet you can guess what my project is. Yep, Teeny Tears!! I can't even begin to explain how healing this project has been for me. In case you haven't heard about it, it's a group of volunteers all over the US (and beyond) that help out with some or all of the process of making tiny flannel diapers. The teeny diapers come in 2 sizes and fit babies 18-32 weeks. I would have loved to pick out and put a diaper on Carter. My hope in doing this project is that grieving parents feel the love of someone else who has been there. I hope they feel that their babies are valued and treasured. And I hope it provides them even the tiniest amount of hope and comfort. That is my prayer.
I have felt so loved and supported by all of our friends and family who continually help out with the diapers. There's no way I could do it without you all!!! With just our little group, we have donated 1350 diapers to various local hospitals, organizations, and NILMDTS photographers. And we have another 500+ in the works.
And my favorite charities/organizations are Teeny Tears and NILMDTS. So it all works out pretty well.
