On February 24, 2014 our second child, Nolan, was born. I had a normal pregnancy and a rather easy labor and delivery, with no indication that our baby would never come home from the hospital with us. However, from the moment Nolan was born, he had several medical complications and was transferred to the NICU at another hospital the day he was born. We were given the opportunity to hold him, feed him, change him, and most of all give him all of our love and support for 5 short days until he passed away on March 1, 2014.
The first year after his passing was a rollercoaster of emotions, along with several genetic tests. It has now been over four years and we are still not sure of an exact cause of our son’s passing, and we may never know. Through all of this, we know one thing that is certain and will never change: Nolan was only here on earth in our arms for five short days but he will FOREVER be a part of our family. Nolan IS, not was, our son and he will be loved and remembered for the rest of our lives!
Thank you for taking the time to read our story and learn about our baby who will only live on in our hearts… forever. We would like to ask that you help the organization that has helped us and helps so many others in their times of need.
All donations made to this page are made in loving memory of our baby gone too soon and will be used towards the WNYPBN’s Program.
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
