Mid-Michigan SIDS Walk
September 27

Click here to support Andrea Nessel

Once again I am walking this September to raise money for Michigan SIDS. I always hate asking for money as we try to raise money for Angelcheeks but every year at this time I try to raise as much as I can so we are one step closer to saving other parents from what I endured losing Evan.

Even if you have $5 to spare, consider supporting me in the Mid-Michigan SIDS walk on September 27. Thank you so much friends.

Andrea West Michigan, USA I lost my son, Evan, to SIDS in February of 2007. This website tells Evan's story. If you are a grieving parent and interested in connecting, contact me.	Tammi S. Kalamazoo, Michigan My granddaughter's due date was Feb 2nd. We went to the doc on Feb 9th for an "overdue ultrasound" and she was PERFECT. The next day my daughter went into early labor and 4 hrs later we were at the hospital where they found no heartbeat for the baby. This was the most devastating time in my life. Not only was I losing my first grandchild, but there was absolutely nothing I could do for my own child.There is much more to this and I would love to be in contact with anyone in a similar situation.
Nichole J. Michigan Two years ago, when I was 16 I found out I was pregnant. I was scared and upset. But when I heard my baby at the doc I wanted nothing more than to be a mom right then. Some say teens cant be moms, but I know I would have been fine. What they dont prepare us for is losing our baby. We are ready to change diapers, feed, be up all night, bathe, etc, but what do we do if our baby doesnt make it into our arms? It'd be nice to talk to teens in the same situation, or anyone who has suffered as I have.	Cynthia Virginia I was to be a grandmother twice and Trisomy had taken them my 1st granddaughter at 9 days, and my grandson at 5 months gestation. Now its 3 yrs later and my son and his wife are trying again now. She is 3 months and so far all is well! I wish so much for them to have a healthy baby this time. I'm so very sorry for anyone that has lost a baby~ ((((((((warmesthugs))))))))))) ********************** In memory of Emma and Will **********************
James Grant Waterford Ireland I am joining the network to support the foundation. I've been an 8 time uncle, thankfully all are healthy. In the future I plan to have kids of my own. I live in the Republic Of Ireland and am here to offer support to grieving parents. James 31	Jaime Levittown, Pa I lost my son Brayden to CDH in 2005 at 22 days old. I then conceived my third child in 2007 and lost her at 20 weeks gestation to TRISOMY 18. I have talked to other parents with similar situations and I understand the need to connect with someone who has been through the same life altering events.
MissingMyMelody East Tennessee My daughter Melody drowned in our bathtub at the age of 18 months on Feb. 9, 2007. Now we are left picking up the pieces of our 3 older boys' shattered hearts as well as our own. When you lose a child you become some kind of outcast because no one understand you unless they have been there. We are just over a year into this journey and are still tripping and stumbling over the what ifs and what should have beens. We would love to connect with others.	Jasmin Campos Los Angeles, California On 10/09/07 my daughter was born too soon. I was only 18 weeks, but my water broke and the doctors said there was nothing to be done but induce my labor. My daughter Johnnie was born 12 hours later trying to breathe but couldn't. She died and I miss her every day. I still don't know how I am getting thru all this. I struggle every day to get up knowing she is not going to be with me. I dont have friends I can talk to about this. Not even my family undrestands. I would love to hear and try to help anyone.
Mary Riverside, California Our 8 year old son Ryan was killed while crossing the street with his dad in a crosswalk. It has changed our lives forever and I miss him everyday. We went through a criminal trial and the person who killed our son was given probation even though she was under the influence and going twice the speed limit. Though there was no apology I have forgiven her in my heart because my son was not about hatred. He was a lovey beautiful boy and I wonder often what he would be like now. Our daughter will be graduating college soon and she wishes he could be there. We lost 2 pregnancies after the accident. We didn't want our daughter to be an only child but she is and if there is anything good in all of this its that we remained very close through it all.
