Recently we made a connection with another non-profit that is near and dear to our hearts, CaringBridge. Their link is now posted on our website http://www.ellashalo.com/Ella_s_Friends.html. CaringBridge provides free websites that connect family and friends during a serious health event, care and recovery. They are a bridge of comfort to many families.
We started Ella's CaringBridge site when she was first born. It become a connection to the outside world, a way to keep our family and friends informed about our little girl, and for us to get supportive messages during our stay at the hospital. But most important it was our first time that writing became an outlet for us. It was a way to help us get our emotions, fears and love all out and into words.
During Ella's hospital stay, Ryan was the one who updated our site with all of the medical and technical information about her care. I would update pictures and read the messages from friends and family. It was a way for others to get to know our daughter, a way for them to read about her personality and her spunky little spirit. CaringBridge gave us a way to tell about our life in the NICU, our life with a premature baby, and our life with Ella.
If you would like to read about Ella's story from the very beginning check out her own CaringBridge site at http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/ellakrumwiede.
It just makes perfect sense that CaringBridge is now a friend with Ella's Halo.
