Our Story of Love at First Sight

I found out my ex fiance and i where pregnant and we where so excited we went into plan mode. August 7 i went for my sonogram and they acted weird and i didn’t ask question because if he was hurt they would of told me but the 24 i started to bleed and my right side hurt so bad. so i called my doctor scared out of my mind they told me they thought it was a bad pregnancy to go to the er. so i did just to find out my angel was gone for two weeks and my body was holding on to him trying to keep him safe and if i didn’t go and waited any longer i would of past with my son, they think he suffocated in the extra tissue he was wrapped in. i blame my self every day and got abused from his father everyday.

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
