The news report from fox channel 8 that was posted in an earlier link was posted and I copy and pasted it on our forum so our volunteers can be incouraged, well here is the response I got about NILMDTS one of our volunteers posted on our forum read more below
Hi Mary,
That was an incredible news report. I recently told a friend of mine about NILMDTS. Below is an email she sent to me a month ago. It's just another example of the gratitude that bereaved parents have for the NILMDTS photographers. I think you can figure out the "friend of a friend of a friend" thing.

I need to share this with you because I wanted to let you know what a HUGE impact you have had on somebody that you don't even know. You may remember a while back that I posted about very good friend of mine, Amy, who had a friend that was pregnant and the baby would not survive when it was born. The baby had a condition called Hydrops (I think?). Amy was desperate to reach out to her friend to help her in any way she could because she knew the pain of losing a child because her first set of twins were born too early. One of the things you recommended was the Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep photographs. I got in touch with Amy about it and she took it upon herself to make sure that this was done when it was time. Once her friend was farther along in the pregnancy (and it was very real to her then), the friend was very receptive to the idea of the photographs and wanted to do it. Well, the time had come to induce her because it was now becoming dangerous to her to remain pregnant (she was over 30 weeks). Amy had already called many of the NILMDTS photographers in the area and all of them were so accommodating (way above and beyond the call of duty) and wanting to help. The induction day was yesterday and so Amy had the photographers all on call. They were all willing to be on call for different times of the day to immediately drop what they were doing to do this for this family. And they were all from different studios in the area, too. At 9pm last night she was 9cm dilated and ready to push. A photographer dropped what she was doing (she has 4 kids of her own) and immediately went up to the hospital. The baby wasn't born until 1am and the parents wanted to be with their daughter alone until the end. The photographer was willing to wait as long as necessary. When it was time, the photographer went in and did what she needed to do and quickly left.
I spoke to Amy today to see how they were all doing and she was in tears telling me how special these pictures were and how much they meant to her friend. Since Amy had arranged the whole thing, she spoke with the photographer today and was told that the shots were absolutely stunning and that it was made to appear that the baby was in a very peaceful sleep and was just beautiful. She said that there was one shot in particular that had the baby's hand on her mother's and that it appeared as though the baby was holding her mother's hand. The shot was in black and white and the photographer blew it up and had it framed for them. Amy said that the whole experience was very peaceful and beautiful for the parents and that they will forever be grateful for being given this information to have this done. These photographers do this for absolutely no charge. What a special bunch of people they are to do this for grieving families.
Amy wanted to make sure that I passed along to you how thankful they are to have been given this information because it is something that just isn't common knowledge. So...THANK YOU!!!
