Project Loreal: Creating Memory Boxes for California Families  

In November of 2014, after extensive research and finding that there is a huge community of families experiencing child loss that she didn’t know existed, she learned that there were many wonderful non-profit organizations that highlighted the tremendous work they do all while honoring their angel baby. “It really touched me and I knew I wanted to start my own.” That is when Project Loreal was born. Project Loreal was created to inspire, give comfort, hope, and healing.   

Services 

Lorena realized, in November, that having a memory box filled with information on how to deal with grief and how to memorialize your baby was needed to help heal a broken heart. Memories such as journaling, mementos and keepsakes for mothers and families to hold on to and remember their child when the little time they had with them was gone too quickly. 

Lorena creates custom-made memory boxes that are different for every person. The same important information given alongside some different pregnancy and infant loss mementos and keepsakes to cherish. Lorena knew that if she had one after her stay at the hospital, it would have made a huge difference in her life. 

Project Loreal also is an Advocate for PAIL, Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness. 

Raising Funds 

Project Loreal is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization, funded primarily through donations. A donation of as small as $20 helps provide memory boxes. The fundraisers also help donate Caring Cradles to hospitals in need, raising money through grants and various fundraisers throughout the year. 

Our Partnership 

Lorena’s mission is to keep Loreal’s memory alive, servicing the state of California, while lending a hand to other grieving parents who are also struggling through this journey called grief. 

A mother never gets over losing her child. 

Lorena and her team have helped donate three Caring Cradle® units. Those cradles went to Reedley Birthing Center in Reedley, CA. Clovis Community Hospital in Clovis, CA and Fresno Community Hospital in Fresno, CA. 

The team at Caring Cradle® appreciates the work Project Loreal and Lorena does for their community and the mothers who don’t know where or who to turn to. Your experience and compassion genuinely change the lives of those you serve. We are so thankful to partner with you by placing Caring Cradles, which allows additional time that is so desperately needed for the families
