baby and child loss by the provision of keepsakes.
I am that mother who sat in the room with my heart breaking as I heard those words "sorry there's no heartbeat"
I am that mother who had no emotional support,
I am that mother who had nothing tangible to acknowledge my precious baby,
I am that mother who had no scan photo either,
I am that mother who didn't get to bury my baby,
So now I help others like me by providing a Keepsake,
It might not seam like much, but to those who had nothing like me,
It's everything!
