Our baby, Jake Alan Dennison, was born on Jan 21st, 2009. He was born with HLHS and lost his tough battle 19 days later. He was such a joy to have for those 19 days. you can read his story by clicking this picture:
During Jake's life, some sweet friends of ours gave Jake two special blankets made from ultra-soft minky. He LOVED to snuggle in his blankets.
One white for his blessing day
Just a few months after Jake passed away, our family started "jakey's blankies." This is a way for us to pay it forward to other families with babies with heart conditions. With your help, we have been able to sew over 200 minky blankets for other babies born with heart defects just like Jake!! We know how special these babies are. With your donations, we can continue this project each year in memory of our sweet Baby Jake. We are going to hold this donation drive for the duration he lived...19 days. It starts today, his birthday, Jan 21-Feb 9th.
We love you all and thank you for your continued support!
You can donate via paypal with a check or Credit card here, or click the donate link on the right.

What a cute little guy! I too am grateful for the blankets we recieved in the hospital with our little angel. My sweet baby girl was born with HRHS. She went home to her Heavenly Father 14 days later. What a great cause. I will have to add your button to my blog.
This is a beautiful idea. I posted your button on my Magic Quilt Blog. And I will plug it for you in a post this weekend.
Happy Birthday to Jakie! HUGE HUGS to you!
LY!

Got my button up!Honestly, Braden sleeps with his every night!
I just received one of these blankets a few days ago. It is the most beautiful and soft blanket I have ever seen. Our precious baby is due in one week and I cannot wait to hold her in her "blankie."
Thank you for thoughts and generosity.

I don't have much money but I donated what I could to the cause. I am glad to help these precious angels. I had a CHD and didn't find out until I was 23. Now I am 30 and have PH and left heart failure. So I feel for these poor babies.
