LeLou's Angels

It was a lazy summer afternoon in late August 2019.  We had family visiting from out of state and were spending the afternoon playing card games, eating popsicles, laughing, and having fun. My phone rang.  It was my Aunt Leslie.  I stepped outside and answered the phone.  She was heartbroken and crying as she let me know about my cousins and the loss of their sweet baby, Bodil.  She was full term and perfect.   I sat outside and cried.  I cried as I assembled the things for their bereavement kit.  I hate giving these to people, especially MY people.  My heart was broken for them. Lydia and Kellen were now members of this horrific "club."  This is the club that no one wants to belong to.  The price of admission is too much--it's sending your sweet baby back into the arms of our Heavenly Father and finding a way to keep breathing afterward.  While this club is one no one ever wants to join, it is a club that is inclusive and...

  LeLou's Angels provide Southern and Eastern Utah's families of stillborn babies with burial clothing and bereavement kits.  We organize volunteers to create the clothing and keepsake items for the kits.  Everything is donated and provided to the grieving families at no cost.  Thanks for stopping by!

Hey there!  Excuse our dust as we set up the blog.  We will be posting our free downloadable PDF patterns for outfits, blankets, hats, diapers, bracelets, headbands, and other items we make for our kits.  It's going to take a hot minute to get all the content posted, but hopefully, it streamlines the process of getting patterns and instructions out.  We are also hoping to put together some photo and video tutorials to help with the patterns.  In the meantime, we appreciate your interest, and please email us at thelillypadproject@gmail.com if you need patterns.
