Ryan & Robin Elephant Fund
Years ago, an expectant mother picked out the names for her unborn child - Ryan for a boy and Robin for a girl. Sadly, this mom experienced the loss of her baby. The grieving mother wanted to make sure families who suffer the loss of an infant at any stage of pregnancy would leave Lima Memorial with something special to remember their child. A stuffed elephant was symbolically chosen because an elephant never forgets.
This mother partnered with the Lima Memorial Foundation to establish The Ryan and Robin Elephant Fund. Gifts designated to support this fund ensure every life, no matter how short, is recognized and acknowledged. Each family who experiences a loss will receive a gift basket with a stuffed elephant and a blanket, as well as a Recognition of Life certificate. Information on ways to cope with the loss of a child is also included. A donation to support the Ryan and Robin Elephant Fund will help parents never forget.
A Time to Remember: Honoring Little Lives This October
This October, Lima Memorial invites you to join us in honoring families who have experienced the heartbreaking loss of a baby, pregnancy or infant through a donation to the Ryan & Robin Elephant Fund. By supporting the Lima Memorial Foundation through the Ryan & Robin Elephant Fund, you will have the opportunity to ensure every life, no matter how short, is recognized and acknowledged. This month, donations to the Ryan & Robin Elephant Fund will honor little lives lost and be represented by a special paper elephant displayed in the Lima Memorial Cafeteria.
