The investigative process in identifying SIDS can be an emotionally compounding and even traumatic one.
Families may be required during the investigation to store their baby’s items in public storage, or certain items might be gathered, collected as evidence, treasured keepsakes considered specimens of scrutiny.
Security Public Storage, through an employee at the Santa Rosa California location, donated hundreds of dollars to one such mother, whose babies items were stored there. This mother was at risk of losing all of her baby’s items – they were scheduled to be auctioned if she could not remit the bill in full before Christmas day.
Upon hearing of our special SIDS stillbirthday mother’s situation, Tracy, the employee at Security Public Storage, contributed several hundred dollars to this mother’s bill, so that she can have her baby’s items returned to her.
Tracy, a bereaved mother herself, gave so selflessly, on behalf of her own two children, Jessica and Jeremy.
If Public Storage hasn’t been an aspect of your journey, it’s important to consider just how additionally challenging this aspect can be.
Thank you so much, Tracy and Security Public Storage of Santa Rosa, for setting the precedent that storage facilities might bring additional factors – deeply humbling, beautiful and healing factors – in our bereavement journey.
You can write a quick thank you to Tracy, something like this:
“Thank you Tracy, for reaching out to a mother in need. I too am a bereaved mother and your selflessness in your own babies’ honor encourages me to do the same. Sending you thanks from _____.”
