Minutes of Gold volunteers have been making infant bereavement garments for babies born too soon and donating these items to hospitals since 1992. The nurses have the challenge of presenting these tiny babies to their grieving families. Without the gifts that the volunteers provide, there would be nothing suitable, available for this purpose. A viewing is important for most families and appropriate clothing provides comfort and dignity. CONTACT US: minutesofgold@hotmail.com

Minutes of Gold, The Beginning
In the summer of 1992, Carol was beginning a small home business doing what she loved to do, repairing and dressing antiques dolls. While dressing an antique doll from the 1920's, a "Dream Baby", the thought occurred to her that there may be a need for tiny gowns and bonnets designed for stillborn infants. A conversation with local nurses confirmed the need was very important. Carol went to work on a design that would work and in October she delivered 6 Fetal Demise Layettes to Woodland Memorial Hospital in Woodland, Ca. Within a year she was asked to supply 2 more hospitals in the Sacramento area.
