Arena Family Story

Our Story of Love at First Sight

Lilya Raine Arena was born into this world sleeping on September 26, 2009. There was no reason for her death, no conclusion. She was perfect in every way and we miss her every moment of every day. If not for the Western New York Perinatal Bereavement Network I would have never found the supports I needed in those times of complete darkness. 
Thank you to those who support this cause, It means more then you could EVER imagine. 
With Love and In Memory,
Kelly & Michael
Bereaved parents of Lilya Raine Arena

Important Update

Due to the restrictions and safety precautions required by New York State because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the WNYPBN has to restructure our annual events. In response to this series of unfortunate circumstances, the creative team has come up with alternatives to our annual events, while still paying tribute to your beautiful babies and helping others who are in need of assistance after the loss of their babies, while keeping our community safe.
Please visit our Events tab for information about our upcoming 2022 Events and Fundraisers. We hope you are all able to participate in one or all of our events as we adapt to our “New Normal” and continue to stay in good health and be safe. We are grateful for your support!
Thank you, Emily, Christine, Sue, Kelly and our Event Volunteer Committee
