Honoring Christian...

Many people have asked how they can honor Christian... The following organizations hold a special place in our hearts...

Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep
As you may know, NILMDTS is a non-profit organization that provides remembrance photography for families whose children are either still-born or are sick at birth and only live a short time. Rachael Meier with Simple Heart Photography has blessed us with priceless photos of our sweet Christian, both before he was born in a maternity shoot and afterward in the hospital. I can't put into words what these photos mean to us. Learn more about donations to NILMDTS by clicking here.

Donations can be sent to:
The Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep Foundation
2305 E. Arapahoe Road, Suite 220
Centennial, CO 80122

String of Pearls
String of Pearls, created by Laura Huene in honor of her daughter Pearl, provides a nurturing and safe place for families as they navigate the path following a fatal prenatal diagnosis. They sent us a care package before Christian was born with special keepsakes to remember him by. Learn more about it by clicking here and here.

Donations can be sent to:
String of Pearls
PO Box 630454
Littleton, CO 80163-0454

March of Dimes
March of Dimes supports programs in your community that help moms have healthy, full-term pregnancies. It also funds research to find answers to the problems that threaten our babies.

This past Saturday some of my girlfriends walked in Indy's March of Dimes walk in honor of Christian. What a special group of ladies they are. They raised nearly $1,000 in his name! We hope to walk in his honor during next year's walk!

Here are some photos from the day:



Thank you so very much ladies, it meant so much...

East 91st Street Christian Church
Lastly, is our church home, East 91st Street Christian Church. Our church family has been so very important to us during this time. We ask that the future of the church, the children, be the focus of the donation in Christian's name. Learn more here.

Donations can be sent to:
East 91st Street Christian Church
6049 East 91st Street

Erin, I am so sorry to hear about your loss of precious little Christian. I have thoroughly enjoyed browsing your blog, seeing your beautiful family and learning of Christians life.
I do have the boy version of "I Will Carry You" in mp3 version that I can email to you. Email me at saraskaggs@hotmail.com and I will get it to you quickly so you can have it for Christians memorial service.
May our Savior cover you in peace as you grieve over your sweet baby boy...
