Having a child is one of the greatest gifts any of us could be given. Watching them grow and helping them become the people God has created them to be is a responsibility each of us cherish.
Unfortunately, not everyone is blessd with that opportunity.
Kaylen's Write to Heal began with a heavy heart. On January 23, 2009 our dear Kaylen Leigh Phillips left this world at only four months old due to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome taking our hearts with her.
When talking with Kaylen's mom just one week after releasing Kaylen to Heaven, Christi said to me, "it's the first day I've gone to the mailbox and found no card." It broke my heart and I wondered how many other parents have to go through the worst pain of their lives ...alone. What happens when everyone goes home?
We started Kaylen's Write to Heal as a way to reach out to families suffering the loss of a child. Through our email database, we contact members of Kaylen's Write to Heal when we've received a family in need. Each member then sends a card and/or letter to the family in need. Just knowing someone out there cares goes a long way when you're hurting.
