When you give…
A tangible comfort is gifted to a family who’s arms are empty when they should be holding their little one.
After my second loss in May of 2021, I made myself a tie blanket & it was my something to hold. When you lose a baby in pregnancy or infant loss, as a mother your body yearns for that baby in your arms. Your mind, body & soul feel that missing person.
October of that year we reached out to see if another family could use a blanket as comfort during a loss. After 8 families were gifted blankets all by our community, more requests started coming in. We have been making blankets ever since.
Early in 2023 we became an official 501c3 tax-deductible public charity. Blankets have been sent & events have been hosted all across the United States. Our local community here in NW Indiana is rapidly growing & we are prayerfully following where the Lord leads this ministry.
This is how I “mama” my first two babies. I will forever be in awe of what the Lord is doing here & that He chose our story for this. Our hope is that it can be that for whoever needs it.
with love, The Sikma Family - Luke, Abigail, Gentry, Baby & our two Angels

The Impact
“…I got home and realized that someone had prayed over the blanket and written a personal note. I wept. It was so overwhelming to feel so cared for by someone I had never met…”

Sent in from one of our Mamas of loss
“I went to an event last night for those struggling with infertility. At the event, there was a blanket and a devotional for each of us. I didn't read the note until I got home and realized that someone had prayed over the blanket and written a personal note. I wept. It was so overwhelming to feel so cared for by someone I had never met. My first embryo transfer just failed, and I have felt so lonely, unseen and heartbroken. The blanket and devotional brought me so much comfort, as I never feel my loss is a "real" loss since it wasn't a miscarriage. I wanted to say thank you for the work you're doing and the ministry you run. It has impacted me and I am so grateful. I hope you can pass along my thanks to the volunteers, too.”
