Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep Fund Drive

With the Month of October being recognized as Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, The Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep Foundation holds its Annual Fund Drive for six weeks starting in mid-September and ending in October.

President Ronald Reagan enacted Proclamation 5890 in October of 1988 to recognize that each year, approximately a million pregnancies in the United States alone end in miscarriage, stillbirth, or the death of a newborn child. Reagan stated, "A national observance offers us the opportunity to increase our understanding of the great tragedy involved in the deaths of unborn or newborn babies. It also enables us to consider how, as individuals and communities, we can meet the needs of bereaved parents and family members... " To read the full Proclamation signed by Reagan, CLICK HERE.

Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep

Through the tragic loss of a friends little girl last year I became aware of the Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep organization. I knew immediately that this was an organization I wanted to be a part of so I put my application in to become a volunteer. I received word on January 10th that my application was approved and I am now a proud member of this organization. Since receiving word of my approval I have been working toward preparing myself to represent NILMDTS and the families that are served through them.

NILMDTS is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that helps families during a time of bereavement with remembrance photography. It is made up of professional photographers that volunteer their time and talent to those in need. If you are a health care professional, or affiliated with a health care organization in any way and are not aware of NILMDTS please check this wonderful organization out.
