All proceeds from the sale of this set will be donated to Love Runneth Over; a nonprofit foundation that provides financial support to Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Families at a time when there is no substitute for their presence, touch, and advocacy.
Love Runneth Over was created by Ezra and Carrie Firestone after their daughter Audra was born 3 months early at 1 pound 11 ounces via an emergency c-section. They realized that there was no greater comfort as her parents than knowing that they were able to spend every possible minute with her and give her the best quality of life in the short time she was with them.
I’ll never forget the time when my own children were born. Those hours at the hospital were easily the most intense, nerve-wracking, anxiety-ridden moments of my life. But I’ll also never forget the relief and gratitude I felt when both of my children were born perfectly healthy with no complications. What if I hadn’t been so blessed and lucky? How does a person look after their day to day life in the face of that experience, and put everything else aside for however long it takes, from the mundane necessary life tasks to paying your mortgage? That’s why I think the mission of Love Runneth Over is so important and compassionate but also so practical.
