Three Charlotte moms suffered the unimaginable, their babies died.  But these women resolved to honor those children and to help others.  They started a charity called Baby Bundles.  These bags have about 150 dollars worth of newborn essentials for moms in need.  Moms Emily Harry, Heather Leavitt and Cat Long launched Baby Bundles and have delivered  25 bags so far and hope to do that every month. 
 

"We realized there are a lot of mothers out there who need help and while we can't prevent children from dying like what happened to us what we can do is help babies who are born in Charlotte get a better start in life with their mothers," said Emily Harry. 
Cat Long adds "It's wonderful to be able to take something that was sad and difficult in the beginning and turn it into something that's happy and that helps others along the way."Heather Leavitt recalls giving the first Baby Bundle to a new mom.  "That was enormously gratifying, this woman was so happy and so overwhelmed to receive it."  All three women say helping others helps them...heals them.

Each bundle comes with a card that says a baby is a beautiful blessing.  Also on the card are five names, Low, Catherine, Mary, Joseph and Sarah.  They are the five children lost by these moms.  Through Baby Bundles these moms honor their children and share their love with new moms and their newborns.
