These are 2 great charities that do amazing work for families who have lost their babies before or shortly after birth. Many of you will know that Annette and myself lost our beautiful baby Jamie 4 hours after he was born and we will be forever greatful to their support from the time that we found out that Jamie wasn't expected to be with us for long through the difficult months since we said goodbye to Jamie.
Feileacain provided us with a very special memory box before Jamie was born which helped us to create memories before and after he was born, they also provided us with a "cuddle cot" which allowed us to bring Jamie home for a couple of days.
A Little Lifetime were great support to Annette, as a maternity leave without your baby is a very difficult time. They provide support groups for mothers and parents to enable her to meet up with other mothers who have just gone through the same thing.
Thanks for taking the time to read and donating, it will be much appreciated by ourselves and all other parents who have gone through similar things

About the Cause

Why the name FéileacáinA Butterfly lights besides us like a sunbeam …Many of the ancient civilizations believed that butterflies were symbols of the human soul, and in Irish mythology the butterflies, or ‘Féileacáin’, are said to be the spirits of the departed who return to visit their favorite place and their loved ones to reassure them that they are alright.
