Spenser’s
Hope offers a variety of services to families experiencing preterm labor and
premature birth.
We
offer a series of educational
brochures designed to educate, as well as comfort and calm.
In
addition, Spenser’s Hope donates Preemie
Quilts to the NICU at Howard County General Hospital in Columbia, Maryland.
The quilts measure 20” x 24” and are made to comfort the preemie as
well as the parents. While 20” x
24” seems incredibly small, they are more than big enough to completely cover
most preemies – many with room to spare.
The quilts provide a wonderful marker for parents to see how far their
child has come since birth.
If
you have experienced the death of your baby, Spenser’s Hope offers two
services to help you through this terrible time.
Spenser’s
Hope makes “Affirmation of
Life” plaques which commemorate your baby’s life and serve as an
everlasting reminder that your child was here and will always be loved.
These plaques are provided free of charge.
Spenser’s Hope also offers information on how to be removed from baby
and new parent related mailing
lists.
In addition to the above current services that
Spenser’s Hope offers, there is one additional service that we are striving
for. We hope to raise enough money
to be able to fund medical research into the problem of preterm labor.
Spenser’s
Hope greatly increases
public awareness of the problem of preterm labor and premature birth.
Many people are unaware of the major impact that these have on thousands
of families every day. By getting
the word out and raising public awareness, we hope to bring this issue to the
forefront. More attention equates
to more money, more research, and more answers – hopefully even a cure.
