Luke Lives On

I had to share about an organization if you have not heard about it.  We at www.Cradled.org have been working closely with one of our local hospitals to ensure that the women and families who experience the loss of a baby have support and encouragement the minute they enter the hospital.  (We are waiting on approval from the other hospital).  Providence has partnered with the organization Luke Lives On to provide each family who is leaving the hospital empty handed with a box of gifts and things for grief support.  Lisa Hayes is the founder of Luke Lives On close by here in Austin, Texas.  After the loss of her son, Luke, she made it her mission to reach out to other grieving families.  Her work is priceless!  You can sponsor a box, and each family who gives a box will receive a note when it has been passed on to another family.  Please check out her website www.lukeliveson.org  We were shown inside the boxes last week after we met with nurses to discuss what Cradled has to offer.  All of us were deeply touched and thankful that these women and families will have something to hold that will hopefully bring them comfort on their journey of grief.
