SamSarah Beads
A huge thank you to Sarah, Angel Mummy to Sam who has been supporting us with our Angel Dad and Rainbow Dad projects. Sarah kindly handmakes the precious bracelets that we include in our support packs.
Sarah first started making her precious bracelets to support her mental health, and local NICU in Northern Ireland, after Sam sadly passed away. Sarah gave birth to her precious son, Sam who was born 15 weeks premature, on 12th March 2020. Her little warrior Sam, fought for nine days before passing on 21st March 2020.As well as supporting our dad’s, Sarah donates profits raised to her local NICU.
When Sarah laid Sam to rest, she stumbled across the Angel Parents page and purchased a couple of packs and a couple of balloons from them. In her own words, "If one person gets a little comfort out of my bracelets, then I know I have done some good in Sam's name through Samsarah Beads."
For further information and updates on her amazing work, please visit SamSarah at the link below.
