ABOUT US
Established in 2007 From A Random Act Of Kindness
Founder Sara Ringle donated a basket of bereavement items to a local hospital. As a young mother herself, she selected items that she thought would be helpful to a mom who experienced a loss during pregnancy or childbirth. Sara donated the basket to Wooster Community Hospital and after the hospital gave away the basket, nurses contacted Sara to request another.
After a short discussion with friends, Sara assembled and donated two more baskets to the hospital. This cycle continued and she identified this need in her community. Since 2007, Forget-Me-Not Baskets® has assembled and donated thousands of baskets and shipped items nationwide.
Forget-Me-Not Baskets® provides grief support items for all family members experiencing a loss during any stage of their pregnancy. Basket items are specifically curated for grief support and offer tangible items of remembrance and comfort.

“It brings me such comfort to help others in a time that they feel so helpless. We will never be able to change the outcome, but my hope is that we changed their experience, and that they felt loved.”
