If you have recieved a Bear Hug From Barrett and would like to share how it has touched your family please submit your story to
I’m sitting in my bed awaiting surgery after a miscarriage. I received my gift and I’m grateful. I feel hopeful. What you are doing for people in a time of despair and tragedy is beyond words. You are heaven sent.
A little side note that makes this a little more personal for me, my maiden name is Barrett and I can’t help but feel there is a bigger message to all of this. Life is bigger than me or you but moments like these you can feel a million arms wrapped around you. I can’t thank you enough for sending such a huge message. I’ll forever keep my bear, my angel baby.
With lots of love and appreciation,
Danielle Schuette

I have tried to post this a few times before but could never find the words. My kids had a really hard time when we lost our son at 15.5 weeks. I was touched when Meredith sent us this bear. My kids just loved it and I think we all took turns snuggling it. She was very right when she said you just want something to hold on to. We cherish this bear. Thank you so much for thinking of me and my family and being there for us. Xoxo
Thank you for personally reaching out. I still can’t seem to get all of what you are doing out of my head. Even minutes after my post I had a knock on my “door”, It’s incredible. I don’t mind for instant if you utilize my name and email(s). I feel honored. Your donors should know... the world should know what you are doing. You all are moving mountains and embracing those in such hard moments of life. You feel care much more beyond a hospital. You feel as if you aren’t just another patient, another miscarriage, and for heavens sake, your baby isn’t just another one lost.
I didn’t sleep well last night and I was able to look at something, hold something to tell myself that everything is going to be ok. I have you, your husband, Barrett, and your donors to thank. This is all part of God’s plan. I said it before, you both are heaven sent.
I’m forever grateful. Im touched for a lifetime, forever marked by grace in one of the darkest days of our life.
