Hi let me introduce ourselves my name is Karen Scott I have 3 children and 7 grandchildren …I have been a very lucky mother and grandmother as I have never had to endure the agony of loosing a baby.
I decided one day that because of this I must pay it forward and help parents who have had to endure such pain.
My team consist of myself, Caren Greentree who is a wonderful mother of 6 and has had a daughter born sleeping , Patricia Hatzinikolaou who has a beautiful daughter, Jill Hood mother of 4, Lisa Cook mother of 3, Sue Craven mother of 2, Chris Carson a new grandmother and maker of our sewn teddy bears, Shayla Jadee our blanket maker and mother of 2 young children and our blanket maker.
They all have young children or grandchildren but selflessly give up their time to help with this wonderful and fulfilling project ….some traveling quite a long distance to help.
The Story of our Name
The name Tiny Angel Footprints was partly for my brother who died in January 2014 although he was not tiny he was an Angel …….being my maiden name and his last name so he will always be “Forever in my Heart” and a part of what we are doing.
The Teddy Bear story
After a discussion we decided that just the gown was not enough so we included 2 x teddies , one to accompany the baby on its special trip and the other for the parents to keep …we also include a special poem from our team for the parents for their memory box….this is all done with so much love
The boxes then make their trip to the hospitals in need so at least the burden for the parents of how their babies are dressed to make their final trip is taken care of.
