Memory Boxes, Sibling Backpacks, and Miscarriage Memory Bags
Forever Footprints provides Memory Boxes, Sibling Backpacks, and Miscarriage Memory Bags to hospitals and organizations in Orange County and surrounding areas to give to families grieving the loss of their pregnancy or baby.
MEMORY BOX
Memory Boxes are a precious keepsake for a family who lost a baby. Boxes are given directly to families who request them. They are also shared with local hospitals, where nurses lovingly present them to grieving families.
Memory Boxes include a handmade baby blanket, a special teddy bear, a handmade candle and information about support services. Sometimes, this is the only keepsake families have of their baby, and they are treasured forever.

Sibling Backpack
How can you ever begin to explain the loss of a baby to another child? What are the right words? Forever Footprints provides Sibling Backpacks to aid in the understanding and healing of children who are grieving the loss of a brother or sister. The backpacks include children’s books, coloring books and a special teddy bear.
Miscarriage Memory Bags
Miscarriage Memory Bags help provide comfort to families who experience the loss of their pregnancy under 20 weeks. Often times these losses occur in hospital emergency rooms or physicians offices. The families leave with no memories of their pregnancy. Made possible by CliftonLarsonAllen, these precious bags help provide resources, comfort and important information on our Miscarriage Support Program.
