Clothing Drive
In memory of my micro-preemie son Jasper Thomas Goldthorpe. He was born via emergency c-section three and a half months early on 3/4/09 due to me developing severe pre-eclampsia. He lived 36 precious hours in the NICU at Shands in Gainesville and passed away due to a brain hemorrhage on 3/6/09.
What is needed is: Blankets, micro-preemie and preemie t-shirts, hand mittens, preemie
onesies, and booties.
What is not needed at this time is hats, but if you wish to donate some I will find a good home for them. All new clothing must have tags on them or be in the package they came in. This is a NICU policy.
They will take used clothes, but they will go to help the less fortunate parents unable to buy clothes. Used clothes will not be used in the NICU.

How I came up with the idea for the clothing drive
It all started one day when I was shopping at Walmart. I somehow found myself looking at baby clothes. It was the first time I was able to go anywhere near the baby stuff since Jasper passed away. As I was looking at the baby clothes I noticed that there was alot of preemie stuff there and I picked up the cutest little pair of preemie shorts, they were the cutest and smallest baby clothes I have ever seen. That is when I knew. That day I ended up buying two little outfits one for a boy and one for a girl and said to myself that is how I wanted to do to honor my sweet precious Jasper.
