Joshua's NICU Baskets
Donation protected
On March 23rd, 2017, our son Joshua Toby Glader was born at Presbyterian St. Luke's Hospital. He was full term but was born with multiple rare and severe birth defects. We spent an agonizing 11 weeks in the NICU and PICU at Rocky Mountain Hospital for Kids in Denver. At 79 days old our baby boy got to come home, only to pass away in his sleep after a day and a half.
We had two other children at the time and our time in the NICU was incredibly difficult, not only juggling two children at home and one in intensive care and always feeling torn, but all of the stress and emotions that go with watching your baby suffer and almost die.
While we were in the NICU we were given a few gift baskets and it was so nice to think that complete strangers cared and understood what a hard road we were walking.
Our mission is to be able to give a little bit of comfort and practical help for those whose lives have been turned upside down.
Would you help me? With these donations I will put together gift baskets filled with items like gift cards for restaurants, mini notebooks, snacks, soft blankets, ‘little warrior’ onesies etc. I'd also love to include a little stuffed Nemo to remind the families to "Just Keep Swimming".
With these donations it would help to give back as well as to honor my son's legacy. Thank you so much,
Andy and Ashley Glader
