In honor of Ronan Charles Sodders, born sleeping at home on February 1st, 2018 at approx. 1:45pm. He weighed 5lb 3oz, and was 19 inches. He had black hair, like his mama!
We never want to forget Ronan, and Empty Arms is helping us create space to talk about him and remember him forever, through their monthly group meetings and peer support.
Thank you for your thoughtful donation to Empty Arms and my fundraising efforts. Monies raised are used to educate medical professionals, provide care packages to newly bereaved family members, provided one-on-one support when families first learn of their loss, allow continued group support for grieving families, and help families create wonderful happy memories with the babies they have lost.
You may also consider showing your support by running/walking at the Syrup Stampede 5K run/walk at Look Park in Florence, MA on Sunday April 8, 2018 at 10 am.
We love you, Ronan. We hope you like your panqueques. We know how much you loved the book "Si le das un panqueque a una cerdita/If you give a pig a pancake" by Laura Numeroff.
