Wings of Love Memorial Fund

To ease some of the unexpected financial burden placed on grieving families during the tragic loss of an infant.

Wings of Love is a program of the WNYPBN and was started in loving memory of Jacob Wesley Scott and his fellow baby angels. WoL provides financial assistance for burial costs to bereaved parents. Families can qualify for up to $350 to assist with burial expenses for infants up to one year old. For more information, contact Christine Scott at 716-626-6363, or fill out an application and mail to: WNYPBN, 5780 Main Street, Williamsville, NY 14221.

As written by Christine Scott, founder of Wings of Love: "My son Jacob Wesley Scott was born still on May 27, 2000. Even though several years have passed, there is not one day that goes by that I don't think of him, miss him, and love him. In his honor, I want to share that love and strength he has given me with all of the parents in our community who experience the loss of their child."

Professional Education

WNYPBN is committed to helping professionals support families.

Professional Education: Every second year, WNYPBN hosts a program for professionals (social workers, nurses, clergy members, community based workers), to support families following perinatal and early infant loss. The next PBN Program will take place in 2012. Call today if you'd like to be placed on our list to notify when this program is scheduled.

Inter-Hospital Bereavement Initiative: This is a Resource Binder for hospitals with valuable information to give to families who have experienced miscarriage, ectopic (tubal) pregnancy, stillbirth and early infant death.

In-Service Program: Medical facilities begin and maintain bereavement programs in their facilities.
