About the project

What this project is going to represent to us is taking away another loss parent from having to make a decision like I did that day. I intend on taking matching sets of blankets to the hospital where I birthed Parker so they can have them on hand to give loss parents who unfortunately are about to follow in our footsteps. The goal is for the parents to get to leave baby with a bit of love from us and them and get to go home with a matching blanket that they will physically get to keep to share a connection with their baby forever.

This project has risen from the deep parts of pain in my heart, it is in hopes that another parent can find some comfort in a situation that very little comfort can be found in. At this time this project is just mine, I have made the decision to go ahead with it fully expecting it to just be with my local hospital and their unit. It will be fully financially supported by me, my spare time, desire to shop for cute baby blankets while remembering my boy and my hope to help another family in a way we would've loved to be helped. I'm not sure where this will go exactly but I did want to share in case this idea sparks any traction in any one else's lives and mind and they want to contribute or take on a spin of The Parker Project elsewhere. This idea is just a baby with me right now, which feels right as my baby would just be a baby still. We'll grow together and see where this takes us and hope that in it all we can help some other families feel comfort even just for a moment.
