After 7 years of traveling, we decided to put down roots again in our favorite place to spend our summers, Florence, Oregon. In 2004, after getting settled into an adult gated community, it was time to introduce the idea of making the Infant Bereavement Layettes project to the local residents of Florentine Estates.
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
