On December 31, 2019, when everyone was looking back on the year behind and writing down their 2020 resolutions, Bridget's Cradles was doing the same. We reflected on all the amazing things we did together in 2019 and started dreaming for 2020.
Our nonprofit had plans of comforting even more grieving families and donating cradles to even more hospitals and spreading more hope in 2020.
But no one could have imagined what was to come. Undoubtedly, 2020 has been marked by the COVID-19 pandemic. The virus came on to the scene and turned the world upside down.

Though our operations and logistics have had to change, what hasn't changed is our mission and the work that we are doing every single day. We remain steadfast and wholeheartedly committed to our mission.
In the middle of this pandemic, families are still losing babies. Hospitals are still requesting cradles. And we are still sending boxes of cradles to hospitals across the country. Because COVID-19 can't stop us from doing good!
We feel even more compelled to provide love and comfort to families grieving the loss of a baby in 2020 during this pandemic. We trust that though our plans may have changed, our mission will continue on.
We can't wait for you to download and read our 2019 Annual Report. Within it, we share pictures, family and hospital testimonies, and impact numbers. We hope you will be inspired to join us this year so that we can provide even more grieving families with the comfort of a cradle and hope-filled encouragement and support.
With your help, we believe we can continue changing the world in 2020.
