NILMDTS

Thanks to Ms. Fitzita  for posting this. Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep is a wonderful organization, and every time I look at my photos of JJ, I thank them for what they do. They came to me at a most difficult time, under a serious time constraint, and thanks to Jeanne Luna's willingness to volunteer her photography skills and time, I have beautiful photos of JoSuelynn. There is nothing like a photo after your baby is gone, to help you remember all the precious details of your child's face, and tiny hands, and delicate toes.

My daughter was born just after 10am, and I only had four hours with her. Ms. Luna came and spent some time taking photographs, and was able to give us nine beautiful photos in time for the funeral a few days later. A couple of months later She sent me 40 photographs on a CD, and I received a letter allowing me full control over the photos to do as I wished (I know there's a legal term for it, but it escapes me at the moment). If it weren't for those photos, I feel like my recovery would not be where it is today.

If you are looking for a worthy cause to donate to, please consider NILMDTS. They are celebrating five years of helping families, and you can click here to donate. They are asking for $5 to help families create precious memories.
