Wyatt's Wishes was establshed in memory of our son, Wyatt James. Wyatt was diagnosed with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS) and Hydrops Fetalis at 28 weeks gestation. After going through a fetal intervention surgery, we lost our little angel at 29 weeks gestation.
It is my life mission to ensure Wyatt's life has a purpose. Here at Wyatt's Wishes all things are created in loving memory of our little angel.Wyatt's Mommiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11319404957016434879noreply@blogger.comBlogger14125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7060878069855101440.post-4228151987339210912012-05-10T07:48:00.001-07:002012-05-10T07:48:53.785-07:00Care Package DonationsWe currently have 18 care boxes packed and ready to be delivered to a local hospital. :) We have enough stuffed animals to make 8 more however we are out of everything else. <br /> <br /> If you would like to help us create additional care packages, please consider mailing donations to: Wyatt's Wishes <br />

I have also recently updated this blog to include our ETSY products (some of them) on the right-hand side. <br />
<br />
Our ETSY shop was also recently modified and new items are currently in the works. We recently added our new line of taggie blankets to our ETSY shop, as well as our burp cloths and wash cloths. Additonal selections will be added in about a week. <br />
<br />
Be sure to share our information with your friends, family, and co-workers. Our products make great shower or sprinkle gifts and welcome baby gifts. <br />

Their little girl was born with a heart condition which required a transplant. Just before her first birthday she received her new heart but her little body rejected it. She is currently still in the hospital fighting for her life. Her parents drive several miles each day to be with their daughter while still spending time with their son. <br />
<br />
I would like to raise funds to give this family $100.00 in gas cards, plus gift cards to Wawa and other quick convenience stores. Additionally, if enough is raised, I would like to provide this family with a check to use to help with medical expenses. <br />
<br />
I know money is tight for everyone with the way the economy is, but if you could find it in your hearts to donate anything it would be appreciated!!!<br />

Pepsi has what they call a Pepsi Refresh Project where they will extend grants based on need and votes. I have finally completed an application for Wyatt's Wishes and it will be submitted next month.<br />
<br />
Applications are only taken during the first week of a new month, so I have to hang tight until June. But it is fitting, as June will mark Wyatt's one year since he left us. <br />
<br />
Oh how I pray that we are one of the 15 selected for June. It would be great to make Wyatt's Wishes an all out reality!! I would be so happy and I could just see Wyatt's smile looking down from Heaven. <br />
<br />
Once the application is submitted, I will send out the link so everyone can begin to vote for us. <br />

<br />
Two days left until we make our trip up to the Children's Hospital in Philadelphia (CHOP) to deliver not one, but three, Angel Care Packages. I am so excited I can hardly wait. Delivering these boxes and being able to see some of the nurses who helped with Wyatt will be wonderful. But knowing how much the contents of the boxes will mean to the families receiving them means so much more.<br />
<br />
When finding out everything that was wrong with Wyatt in May 2010, we weren't given much time to be able to come home and get items for him. Luckily, we remembered to grab the blanket I had made from him and an outfit. While at the hospital, Brian got Wyatt a stuffed monkey. Today, I hold onto memories and those very few items that once touched my sons skin. <br />
<br />
That is the purpose of the Angel Care Packages from Wyatt's Wishes, to ensure that the parents will have something to go home with and something to hold onto. I am so proud of the fact that in just two days, three Angel Care Packages will be delivered to CHOP. The packages will be provided to families going through the same terrible tradgey that we experienced not even one year ago. <br />

<br />
If so, consider helping Wyatt's Wishes meet our challenge of donating 20 Angel Care Packages to local hospitals by June 6 (Wyatt's first birthday). <br />
<br />
The Angel Care Packages include a stuffed animal, a handmade baby blanket, and a handmade card. All items are placed in a decorated keepsake box, which can be used after leaving the hospital to hold photos and all keepsakes.<br />
<br />

</div><div align="left">Currently, I am crocheting blankets, but each blanket takes about 4-6 weeks to make. If anyone would like to donate handmade blankets for this wonderful cause, please leave a comment or contact me at <a href="mailto:crymeg99@frontier.com">crymeg99@frontier.com</a>. Blankets can be knitted or crocheted. </div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left">Additionally, if anyone would like to donate new stuffed animals that measure under 12 inches, please feel free to contact me at the same email address that is listed above. </div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left">If 20 Angel Care Packages can be made by Wyatt's first birthday, we will have touched 20 families.

To my surprise, many family members donated to Wyatt's Wishes for Christmas. <br />
<br />
In total, Wyatt's Wishes received $60.00. This is enormous! $60.00 will make six care packages. This means that six families who are experiencing something so horrible and scary in life, will each receive an angel care package. <br />
<br />
Each package will include one handmade crocheted blanket, one tiny stuffed animal (perfect size for a preemie), a handmade card, and a decorated keepsake box. <br />
<br />
