Support Skye High USA in Memory of Otto Honn

Greetings!

We are the Honn family and we are raising funds for The Skye High USA Foundation in honor of our son Otto James Honn.

As many of you know, we found out that we were having twins in November of 2024. We were thrilled and looking forward to being a family of 5. Unfortunately, we discovered later on in the pregnancy that Otto had catastrophic brain and heart abnormalities, and he was stillborn on June 12, 2025, a few minutes after his twin sister Mabel Jane made it safely into the world.

One of the hardest things to cope with was the lack of opportunities to recognize in the hospital that Mabel was a twin and that her brother was still very much part of our family even though he had passed away. We know that there will unfortunately be many other families that experience, like us, the loss of a twin, and we would like to help hospitals have the tools to recognize the loss of a twin during those early days.

The Skye High USA Foundation is dedicated to providing support and comfort to families who have faced the heartbreaking loss of a twin, triplet, or multiples. They offer a small gesture of love and remembrance during such a painful time and allow families an opportunity to give back to others.

They have created memory packs that include a butterfly card, a small crocheted butterfly, all meant to bring a little comfort to families who are navigating unimaginable loss . The packs may seem simple but can bring such hope and love to a family during such a tragic time.

Thanks to The Skye High Foundation, the purple butterfly and other support resources and memorial items are now available to families who have experienced the death of a multiple at every single hospital in the UK! The Skye High Foundation is making a difference for families who carry this unique sense of grief by helping them communicate to their providers that one of their children has died. Skye's purple butterfly is now coming to the US and we want to help get it, and the other Skye High Foundation resources, to as many hospitals as possible.

I am a Skye High USA Ambassador in honor of Otto. Had I had the purple butterfly whilst in hospital and staff had received the excellent training about its meaning, we could have been spared additional heartache.

We are hoping to raise $600 to fund hospital packs in the two key hospitals that supported our journey (each pack for each department costs $150):

St. Luke's, Boise: Labor and Delivery

St. Luke's, Boise: NICU

Salt Lake Primary Children's Complex Fetal Medicine: Labor and Delivery

Salt Lake Primary Children's NICU

Thank you for supporting our family!
