We have a special "Angel", Nancy A. from Anchorage, along with her volunteer group, has supplied nearly every hospital in Alaska, with our tiny layettes made for early loss pregnancies.
Nancy recruited many Alaskan natives to help as well as a sister in Michigan and others feeling the need to work on this project. Minutes of Gold represents caring people that spend "Minutes" with their handwork in helping grieving families that only have "Minutes" to spend with their tiny family member, born sleeping. Listing below are the 23 cities served:
Anchorage (3), Barrow, Bethel, Cordova, Dillingham, Elmondorf, Fairbanks, Homer, Juneau, Ketchikan, Kodiak, Kotzebue, Nome, Palmer, Petersburg, Seward, Sitka (2), Soldotna, Valdez and Wrangell. A big Kudoo to Nancy and all that have helped to touch the lives of many, many people.
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
