 Hi everyone just about had a mini heartattack just a minute ago. I thought someone deleted my blogger account when they hacked into my email. You wouldve heard me screaming from whereever you are.
So I just wanted to take this time to ask for everyone's prayers as I have applied to become a parent coordinator for Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep.  For those of you who don't know NILMDTS is a non profit organization where professional photographers volunteer their services for free to families who have lost children due to death.  Most of you know that this was the wonderful organization that was brought up to me by Katie Henson and April Kapcha, two dear childhood friends of mine when my husband and I lost our daughter.  If it wasn't for Chanda Pope and her gift I would not have such beautiful pictures/memories of our daughter.  Becoming a parent coordinator I would be doing the following: assist the local Area Coordinator, local photographer recruitment (finding photographers who are willing to volunteer their services), help bring awareness of our program to the hospitals and local community (which is one of the main reasons I want to do this.  I believe the hospitals should offer these services in the event this happens as soon as the patient feels comfortable), work with local media to talk about our services and local families serve  , local fundraising – assist or participate in local events to help raise funds for NILMDTS,  and help hospitals locate local photographers when sessions are needed (if there is no area coordinator or when filling in for the coordinator). I have been praying that they accept me for this position that I want to raise awareness as much as possible.  I knew I wanted to raise awareness one way or another for why things like this have to happen. I am going to volunteer for the March of Dimes as much as possible as well. I am going to be an advocate for mothers and fathers having to go through losing a child like my husband and I. Thank you in advance for the prayers. Love and miss you Chloe.


Love Ashley
