Cuddle Cot placements

The Foundation made its first Cuddle Cot purchase on December 12, 2025. A $6,750 gift from Madison Heights Church of Christ provided funding for two additional units. We continue coordinating with care facilities so this equipment can give families precious additional time to hold, honor, and say goodbye to their babies.

Bereavement care packages

In August 2026, the Foundation received a $600 Meijer community grant to help prepare 50 bereavement care packages. Each package is planned as a charitable source of comfort for a mother or family experiencing pregnancy or infant loss. Contents are selected specifically for this funded program rather than taken from previously purchased Foundation inventory.

Free support and education

The Foundation maintains free grief information, a downloadable family guide, moderated peer-support communities, remembrance programs, and pathways for care-package requests and volunteer involvement. These resources are intended to serve the public without requiring a purchase.

How support is used

Donations and community grants support mission-related work such as Cuddle Cot purchases and placements, remembrance care packages, memory boxes, educational resources, and volunteer initiatives. Program availability depends on designated funding, supplies, and coordination with participating care facilities.
