This is the place where the Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep Foundation gently provides a helping hand and a healing heart. For families overcome by grief and pain, the idea of photographing their baby may not immediately occur to them. Offering gentle and beautiful photography services in a compassionate and sensitive manner is the heart of this organization. The soft, gentle heirloom photographs of these beautiful babies are an important part of the healing process. They allow families to honor and cherish their babies, and share the spirits of their lives. The NILMDTS mission statement is to introduce remembrance photography to parents suffering the loss of a baby with the gift of professional portraiture. We believe these images serve as an important step in the family's healing process by honoring their child's legacy.
The Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep Foundation (NILMDTS) administers a network of more than 7,000 volunteer photographers in the United States and 25 countries. At a family's request, a NILMDTS Affiliated Photographer will come to your hospital or hospice location and conduct a sensitive and private portrait session. The portraits are then professionally retouched and presented to the families on an archival DVD or CD that can be used to print portraits of their cherished baby

The Addison H. Gibson Foundation
The Addison H. Gibson Foundation helps prevent medical debt from occurring by providing grant funds to residents of western Pennsylvania who are facing expensive but necessary medical treatment. To apply, patients should contact the foundation's director with information about their condition, the treatment they will need for it, and the cost. The foundation pays the grant funds directly to the health care provider administering the treatment. Since The Addison H. Gibson Foundation will not pay for bills already incurred, patients should contact the foundation well before their treatment is to take place. Applicants must be referred by qualified physicians or social service workers who may request more information by contacting director Rebecca Wallace at (412) 261-1611.
