NICU Grief Baskets

Hello Everyone,

Many of you gave great feedback about what should be put into the "Welcome" NICU baskets! Thank you so much. I love to give credit where credit is due...and SHARE was thanked on the list of those who helped make the baskets possible!

I hope you are willing to give more wonderful suggestion. While making the baskets, I realized that there is a difference in items needed/wanted in the two different types of baskets. Of course, I want the "Grief" basket to be just a soothing to the hurting parent....as I would like for the "Welcome" basket to be...and have the firm message that, 'You are not alone'.

If you were given a grief basket...what would you want to receive in it?

Thank you for all of the suggestions in advance. I KNOW you all will come through ... just as you always do!

Hugs,

Melissa Middleton (mom of 25 wk'r quads. Alex *deceased*, Benjamin, Callie, and Donovan: 2 years old)

Hi Melissa

I know of a company that sell disposable cameras in bulk , I believe the most affordable cameras they sell are like $1.75 a piece sor for 100 cameras you'll spend $140.00 of something like that also, you may want to ask for donations from other Share members to help make these baskets, I would be happy to help when I can. Hopefully this info helps you some the web site for the cameras is http://www.ecamerafilms.com

Bless you and your loved ones!
