Our Mission

It is the purpose of the Mary Madeline Project to provide comfort and support to grieving families that have suffered the death of a baby. It was founded in memory of Madeline Marie Erickson who died at seven weeks of age and in honor of all the babies before and after her that have touched our lives. We are a non-profit organization that donates infant burial gowns and blankets to local hospitals for bereaving  parents.  Women donate their cherished wedding gowns to the project and volunteers give of their time, talents and love by making the burial gowns and blankets.

It is very difficult to shop for a burial garment when a baby dies. For premature babies, it is often difficult to find something small enough. The gowns and blankets are given to Neonatal Intensive Care Units for babies who die in the neonatal period.  They are also given to labor and delivery units for stillbirths. Yearly  there were more than 300 stillborn babies alone and countless others that died from SIDS, birth defects and other newborn diseases in the Omaha metro area alone .

The Mary Madeline Project is a  501 ( c ) (3) Non-Profit Organization.
