Eden's Bouquet 
Well E-Friends, I have to say this has probably been one of the hardest years in my family's history. March 13 I received the most devastating phone call of my entire life and that is saying a lot since my mother and uncle passed away on the same day (unrelated causes) back in October. On March 13 my sweet 2.5 month old niece, Hailey, passed away in her sleep due to SIDS. It was completely unexpected and obviously heartbreaking. My sister and her husband had to wait a long time for this "miracle baby" due to fertility challenges, so it was so hard to see Hailey be taken off this earth so soon. The life insurance policy for Hailey was going to be effective April 1!! I can't ease the pain caused from the separation my sister and her husband feel and will continue to feel, but I can help the financial burden placed on them due to all the funeral and hospital expenses with help from you and some fabulous donations.
May 12 & 13 Fabulous Fun Finds will be hosting a special Hailey Angel Silent Auction. My goal is to raise enough money for Hailey's headstone (estimated cost $2800-$3200 OUCH!!). If for some miracle I am able to raise more the additional funds will be used for the ambulance fee and emergency room expenses.
Items that will be up for bidding during the silent auction will be placed on my right hand sidebar along with a link to each vendors' website. I decided to hold this auction just 2 days ago, so I will be busy, busy finding fabulous products that you will WANT to bid on. A special thank you to Eden's Bouquet, A Touch of Sunshine, My Dough Girl and LaTeeDaKids for submitting my first donations!! Voting is currently under way on the Fabulous Fun Finds Facebook Fan Page for which item will be donated from LaTeeDaKids. Voting ends Sunday night (4/25), so hurry and make your vote count!
Please mark your calenders for May 12 & 13, invite your friends to check out the auction and keep an eye on my right hand sidebar for other items that will be available for bidding during the Hailey Angel Silent Auction. Bidding will begin at 12:01 am on May 12 and end at 9PM PST on May 13. You must have a paypal account to bid. Feel free to check out and participate in Hailey Angel, a "pay it forward" website, set up by my sister and her husband in honor of their daughter. Yes, the picture above is a picture of Hailey, our sweet little angel! A special thank you to Kristin from My Two Babes for creating this special button for me!

Hope you don't mind, I copy and pasted and put it on my blog to help spread the word. I'm so sorry for the loss :(
Not at all! I appreciate you spreading the word!
I will start letting lots of people know too. If there is anything else that I can do to help, please let me know.
Thanks Melissa! You rock:)
I put the button on my sidebar, Heather. I hope it will help to spread the word. I wish I had some items worthy of an auction of this importance; I'd offer you one in a second.
I'm so sorry for your loss, situations like this make you want to hold your own baby just a little longer each day.
I'm going to link this story to both my blogs.
I'm so sorry for your family :( I can't imagine going through the loss of a baby
It's so great when we are able to use out blogs as a voice and help other out. I can only imagine what a blessing this gift will be to help ease the financial burden they are carrying.
Oh, my heart goes out to you! I'm so sorry to hear of your loss!
2PreppyGirls would like to donate a monogrammed Hat, Monogrammed Visor & Sports Bottle - how do I go about doing this? Please get in touch with me!!

I will post this on my blog tomorrow. My youngest son's godmother lost her grandson to SIDS on November 29, 2009 and his first birthday would have been April 12. There are some very supportive groups on FB and will be glad to share them with you, just email me. Also, here is the link to the post I shared for Baby Paul's birthday, I hope you can find some comfort in it. http://mylifethroughpink.blogspot.com/2010/04/baby-paul.html
I ran your post this evening at http://mylifethroughpink.blogspot.com/2010/04/way-to-help.html?spref=fb and have someone who would like to make a cash donation. Please let me know where to send it.
Oh, Heather, I am so sorry. {{hugs}}
