Samuel's Boxes provide 'memory boxes' for parents of terminally ill babies or stillbirths
Parents of terminally ill babies often spend days by their bedside with no time to buy a camera or a special toy or item of clothing. Likewise, parents whose child is stillborn are often so shocked that they don't think about buying items that will give them a lasting memory of their child.
Samuel's boxes is a charity started by a couple who lost a child. The simple boxes are provided free of charge and contain items from which memories can be made.
