I am pleased and excited to be working with Teeny Tears Bereavement Diapers This year!!! By doing a fabric drive.
"Teeny Tears is a service organization that provides tiny flannel diapers at no charge to hospitals and bereavement support organizations for families that have suffered the loss of a preemie or micropreemie child through stillbirth or NICU loss"
To learn more about teeny tears please visit their blog at http://teenytears.blogspot.com/2011/07/welcome-to-teeny-tears.html
As a volunteer with Share Parents of Utah and having the opportunity to place these diapers on such little angels and seeing their parents light up knowing their child was properly clothed in a diaper made just for them is a very special.
So from now until the end Of January I will be collecting any and all sorts of flannel fabric that will be used to make and create these diapers to be donated to hospitals across the country. If you are able and willing to help this awesome organization please drop fabric off at my home or contact me to come pick up.
Flannel is preferred but soft cotton also is welcomed as well.
If you aren't able to contribute any fabric but still want to help. You can donate directly to Teeny Tears at http://teenytears.blogspot.com/ and to the left is donation option through PayPal. Funds are used for the purchase of fabric, other supplies to make the diapers and shipping costs to the send them out to the hospitals. Any amount would be very much appreciated. If you chose to donate please list in the comments "In Memory of Jocelyn"
For those of you that want or are able to make and donate any finished diapers you can request a free pattern by emailing teenytears@gmail.com(email not hyper linked)
I will be making diapers on Jocelyn Birthday January 16th so feel free to come on over to my home and join me if you would like.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart in advance in helping this well needed service for "A person is a person no matter how small"
