The Sweet Pea Project was created after the death of my daughter, as a way to honor her memory and reach out to other parents who are suffering through this tragic loss.
When a child dies before or shortly after birth, the parents leave the hospital with broken hearts and empty hands. The loss is amplified by the fact that there are often very few tangible items to remember the child by. The Sweet Pea Project collects blankets to donate to hospitals and birthing centers. The blankets are lovingly wrapped around these precious babies and then given to the parents to keep. So far, the Sweet Pea Project has donated over 600 blankets to grieving parents. It is our hope that the project will continue to grow so that every parent who faces this profound loss is given a soft blanket to snuggle their child in, and remember their child by.
