What to expect —
After you submit a blanket request, our volunteers will get to work on fulfilling this request. We are able to so as our resources allow with a goal of operating on a weekly basis.
During the fulfillment process, our team will pray over the blankets & then choose the best one for each request.
You are able to mention the gender of the baby in your request form, if the gender is known. That is what we use when choosing a blanket for each request.
Once completed — your blanket will be wrapped up with our card & little touches. If you choose to have your name included, that will be added on the card. Otherwise, we keep our blankets ready to be gifted anonymously.
An email will then be sent your way with pick-up instructions located in St. John, Indiana.

What have we heard?
Something to hold is just that -After now 2 miscarriages I can't help but feel empty and that I have nothing from my pregnancy or baby I lost to commemorate or just physically see, touch or hold. Im so grateful I get to have a soft blanket to hold and snuggle! Kortnie B
I sent two blankets, one to a friend and one to my sister who lost their babies. They both were extremely touched and felt very seen. They expressed how happy they were to have something tangible to hold to remember their sweet babes. The blankets themselves are lovely and I would 100% recommend sending one to any mama who has lost a baby at any stage. It is such a gift to the mom. Megan S
I praise God for such a wonderful ministry. After my daughter went to be with the Lord, a nurse sent me one of their blankets. It was comforting to me as I held it close. Now, I can’t wait to pass on that comfort to a neighbor whose baby passed recently. I look forward to giving it to her as she grieves her own loss. Elizabeth C
Even as a two time mom of loss it’s hard to know how to comfort a friend going through the same. My friend was so appreciative to have this blanket to hold and remember her pregnancy. Being able to give her something tangible with meaning made me feel like at least I could do something to help her. Thank you! Grace K
