March For Babies 2009

Hello. As you might be aware, our family has been touched by the March of Dimes mission to prevent birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality. That’s why we have formed a Family Team to raise money and participate in March for Babies. Please join us in our fundraising efforts today by sponsoring our event.
Contributing to our team online is fast, easy and secure. You can donate directly from my personal webpage with a credit/debit card or PayPal. If you prefer, I can also accept cash or check. Just click the appropriate box on my webpage.
Our family knows firsthand the challenges associated with prematurity. It is important to find out why premature birth happens and what can be done to prevent it. By raising money, ongoing research to answer these critical questions is funded. When you support our Family Team, you show you care and you give hope for defeating premature birth and other threats to babies.
Please join us and millions of compassionate people across the country who support March for Babies each year. We need your help. Visit my webpage and sponsor our event!
With your support, there’s hope.
Thank You!

In Memory of Samuel

I want to thank..

I want to take the time to thank..
Annual Preemie Onesie Drive
For the inspiration as well.. You know I have researched and researched and I believe this was one of the sites I saw but thought there ain't no way.. But God convicted me and said I ask you do unto others the way you would want them to do to you.
The more I pondered.. I had nothing at the hospital to prepare us for the early arrival at 23 weeks.. I had the nursey basically done at home but nothing for Samuel...
So I thank you......

May God Bless You as your working toward the Same effort.. I thank God that he allowed us to meet.. May God bless your efforts as you are striving to help your NICU's..

Currently...2/17/09

Hello all.. We are so thankful that you have joined us whether you are praying for us, supporting us, or giving to this annual drive.

In 2008 a week after Samuel passed the March for Babies took place and my cousin Angela had already signed up to walk in the marathon and was in the process of raising money long before we lost Samuel. So between family and friends we raised a little over $1,000. We are in the process here in 2009 collecting Preemie clothing to give to the NICU that Samuel was in for 9 days till he decided he could not fight no more and went to be with Jesus.

I (mommy) has done some research on what has worked for other moms that has had their babies in the NICU and we have prayed about what we want to continue to do.. Our due date for a current clothing gathering is April 4th. Samuel was born on April 10th. In memory of Samuel we will be delivering the clothing each year around this time. We have already accumilated about 70 outfits and we have more coming this way and I am still contacting local and distant folks via email to help donate.

The following is what would be beneficial to you NICU, babies, and families:

Preemie Clothing( Micro-Preemie- Preemie)
Newborn Clothing
0-3 month Clothing
Mittens
Hats
Baby Blankets
Stationary
Journals( for the parents to keep track of their babies stay and growth)
Gas Cards

As we drop off these current items of Clothing. We will be taking this list of items to see if the Nurses or Doctors know what we could add to it..

We thank you for koining us in this Effort.

www.preemietees.com is willing to give 20% off on your purchases. We are so thankful. They helped me come up with the name.

May God Bless YOU!!
