Items For Infant Bereavement Support to Hospitals
The Mason and Megan Program is funded entirely by donations. Although these are items are provided at no charge, donations from hospitals and individuals to the Mason and Megan Fund are what keep this program going.
Support We Provide to Hospitals
♥ Handmade Gowns, Bonnets, Blankets and Quilts for Memorial Services
These items are available in infant sizes from less than a pound to full term.
♥ Ceramic Angel Urns for Parents Who Choose Cremation for Their Infant
♥ Angel Bears
Intended as a comfort for parents, parents have told us the bear has also been helpful to their children when used to send hugs to their sibling.
♥ Certificates of Life and Sympathy Cards for Hospital Staff
The Certificates of Life were designed by Lesley Gorny-Hornbeck to honor her daughter, Cailin Erin, who was born still February 11, 2003, and a tiny baby lost to miscarriage July 14, 2003.
♥ Locks of Hair Bags
♥ Care Cards from the Angel Names Association (Please see the description below.)
Care Cards
We have partnered with the Angel Names Association (ANA) to spread the word to parents and hospitals about the Care Cards created by ANA. The cards provide useful information for those attempting to support grieving families. Parents have found it helpful to distribute the Care Cards in the hospital, at the funeral, or with cards thanking others for their expression of sympathy. Instead of not knowing what to say, recipients are offered ideas for supporting the parents. To download these free Care Cards from the Angel Names Association Website, click on the following address: http://www.angelnames.org/site/anaonline/section.php?id=7855
