Project B.E.A.R.

  What is Project BEAR? Project B.E.A.R. - Bringing Empty Arms Reprieve  
       
    The missions of Project BEAR:  
 

1. help, comfort and support grieving families that have lost a baby due to miscarriage, stillbirth or neonatal death by giving them a teddy bear to honor their lost child  
  2. bring awareness to the reality of stillbirth, miscarriage and neonatal death  
  3. honor and remember babies who are lost  
  What is the inspiration behind Project B.E.A.R.?  
  I lost my son, Jeremiah Joseph on April 17th, 2008. I was 37 weeks pregnant. It was sudden, unexpected and there are still no answers. I hope to reach out to others using Project B.E.A.R. and make a difference in their lives in a time of great pain and sadness.  
     
  Unfortunately, in June 2009 I suffered another devastating loss. My fourth child, Vincent Joseph was born on June 2nd 2009, and spent some time in the NICU. Just 4 days after he came home from the hospital, he stopped breathing and was rushed to the ER. He was revived and then transported to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia where he died early the next morning, on June 15th. Project B.E.A.R. is now carried on in Vincent's honor and memory as well.
