A another surprise donation!!

When we first started this donation drive we put flyers all over our apartment complex, High Point Woods. Our landlords let us leave a box for donations. Over the last few months we haven't received any donations in the box, which was ok with us. A few days ago we went to the clubhouse to get a package and checked the box, and inside was a green bag with several preemie outfits. It was nice to see that someone donated. Thank you very much your donation. Its means so much to us that your took the time to donate. All of the clothes you donated are wonderful and will be very useful for the NICU at Meriter.

A Sweet Gift from Sara Babcock!

All of the monetary donations we raise we go directly to benefit this program that Sara helps organize and run. Today, we received a package from her telling us thank you for having the donation drive. It was so sweet of her to send us a card. She also sent us a beautiful strained glass butterfly we can hang in our window. It was so sweet and we really appreciate it. It is our please to be doing the donation drive in honor of Alivia. We are just so thrilled it has be as successful as it as been, and is still continuing. The Pregnancy and Infant Loss Program is extremely important to parents who experience a loss, and to have women like Sara there to help families through their loss is a wonderful thing. We are just glad we can give back to the program that still helps us today, almost a year later.

Thank you very much Preemie-Yums Inc.

Thank you so much for your generous donation, Preemie Yums Inc. I came home today from work to find several packages for "Alivia's Angel Gift". It was such a wonderful thing to come home to. But the biggest surprise was coming home to a donation from a company I had written over a month ago. And when I opened the box, I found so many wonderful things all in tiny sizes for the NICU. Thank you so much for such a great donation. I know that NICU will definitely be able to use these clothes and will appreciate your donation. We are so happy that Preemie Yums Inc. wanted to donate in Alivia's name, it means so much to us to have any one donate, but to have some major companies donate is so nice. Thank you again Preemie Yums Inc for your generous donation.
