Favorite children's charity?

[icechalk]

My friend/neighbor's SIL just lost a baby at 35 wks to either trisomy 13 or 18 - not sure. She was diagnosed at her 20 wk ultrasound but elected not to terminate. Anyway, they induced her this week due to some complications and the baby died during labor (she wasn't expected to live).

I know her socially but not well. I am sending a sympathy card but would like to make a memorial donation for her daughter too. My friend (her SIL) wasn't sure if the mother has any particular charities she really loves, so I figured I would just pick one.

I could always do a local one (NICU, children's ward, etc).

What's your fav charity for babies/children?

Project Night Night (blankets, books and stuffed animals for homeless children)

But in this situation, I think March of Dimes would be a safe choice.

March of Dimes and St. Jude.

I would say March of Dimes. I might also try and find out if they got photos taken by Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep. If they did, I might consider donating money there.

Does anyone remember taking part in the mathethon fundraiser for St. Jude while you were in school? I got a gym bag out of it.

St. Baldricks or March of Dimes

St. Baldrick's and St. Jude

In this case I would do March of Dimes or St. Jude.

Generally, though, it's Give Kids The World.

Do you have a local children's hospital? I'd go with that.
