Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Day

Many of you know that I have been deeply touched by the program Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep and the babies that have been lost. Since today is National Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Day I thought it would be fitting to remember the parents and children that have been served by this wonderful program. This program was started by one photographer Sam Puc' , one mother Cheryl Haggard, and the memory of Maddux Haggard in April 2005. In only 3 short years the Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep Foundation (NILMDTS) has grown to include more than 5,000 volunteer photographers in the United States and nineteen International countries. At a family's request, a NILMDTS Affiliated Photographer will come into the hospital or hospice location and conduct a sensitive and private portrait session. The portraits are then professionally retouched and presented to the families on an archival DVD or CD that can be used to print portraits of their cherished baby.
The entire network of affiliated photographers graciously donate their time and talents to the families and we are proud to be able to offer our services at no cost.Your donations are greatly appreciated. Please consider supporting our mission by making a donation to NILMDTS by clicking:
