A lot of people have been asking how to make a donation to the Baby James Lagacy.  We have 2 ways at the moment that this can be done.

We have our everyday hero page which will take donation up to 15th November.  Any donations made via this means get an extra 40% from the Tom Hunter Foundation.  We were very lucky to have two walkers register with us this year.  This is the link:

We also have a paypal account which also takes donations, the link for this is:

Angel Wings Baby James Legacy Memorial Garden Aviemore now has over 300 stars.

Please join us on Monday 15th for the WAVE OF LIGHT lighting a candle at 7pm in memory of all babies & Children gone to soon.

If you would like to come along please be outside Aviemore Tesco by 6:45pm and we will walk to the garden together.

Its not too late to get a star added to the garden in your Angels name, this is free of charge though we are very grateful to those who have donated £1 and helping us to provide this yearly. The garden will be in place for quite a while.

Death is always a hard thing to talk about, especially when there is a child involved.  This is what makes fundraising for items connected with death extra hard.  People just dont want to speak about it or think about it for that matter.  That is until you are in the living hell of losing a loved one.

The family of James Zander Anderson were in that position a year ago.   Losing James was the worst thing that could ever happen.  But with the help of Angel Wings Baby and Cild Loss Support an idea was born.  In the past they had funded Snuggle Cots, but these were only of use for babies up to three months old.   James had been 16 months old.  So was there anything else similar to the cots but could be used for older children?

This is where the idea of  “James Snuggle Blankets” was born.  These bankets could be used from three months up to adult.  They are portable, can be used in a hospital or at home.  Perfect we thought.  So fundrasing began.  It was only supposed to be for one blanket to be gifted to Jamie Rodgers Funeral Directors in Aviemore.

But today we are just short £300 short of reaching £25,000.  4 blankets have been gifted in James name already.  The first one to Jamie Rodgers to be used throughout Badenoch and Strathspey.  Then blankets were gifted to Raigmore Hospital Childrens ward Inverness, Highland Hospice and Royal Manchester Childrens Hospital for the Manchester 22.

Funds have been riased through the kiltwalk for Royal Aberdeen Childrens Hopital and The Edinburgh Royal Hospital for Sick Children and these will be gifted once we receive the funds from the Kiltwalk in December.

But even better, 4 other families have now fundraised in their childrens name for blankets with the help of Angel Wings baby and Child Loss support.  So thats 10 blankets in a year right accross the courty.

So the next time we have a fundraiser, or you see one of our shakers or ribbon boxes, please help us to help more families who have found thenselves in the position we were in.  And just maybe that blanket will be available to them, its wont take the pain away for them, but it will help make a hellish situation the little bit better.

After yesterdays very difficult day for us as Baby James Legacy, we received more requests for stars. So this morning another 17 of your angels stars have been added to James remembrance garden.

If you would like your precious angels name added just message us and we will arrange a star to be put in the garden.

Thank you all who purchased a number in our draw, the draw took place last night and the winning number was 10.

So big huge well done to Daniel Center, you are now the proud owner of this signed picture.

We shall be in touch.

All funds raised are going towards our next snuggle blanket.

Today will be a hard day for all of us, but one thing that we all know here is that James was loved by his family. So today’s photos are James with his family.   Family is what gets you through the hard times in life.

So here’s James with his mummy, his daddy, his auntie chaz, auntie neve, uncle Kyle, nana Liz, great grandad george and papa Erik. Just some of the family that made this little boy loved all his 16 months.

In memory of James and the anniversary of him gaining his wings we have set up a little garden in Aviemore. James is surrounded by lots of your angels.  Thank you all who have added their babies names and supported us in creating our garden.

If you would like your angel added, please just tell us their name and special date and a star will be added.

If you would also like to add a small donation, this can be done via our PayPal account.  liz@babyjameslegacy.com

This week we are sharing

happy memories we have of James.

He was there for all of his mums important moments.  So here are some photos of James being very proud of his mummy.

He was there for her graduation from school getting her award for higher photography and national five Spanish.

Then a year later getting her student of the year award at UHI.  But I think he might have preferred his balloon.

This is the week us here at Baby James legacy have been dreading, Wednesday is our first anniversary of losing our precious little man.

But we are not going to be sad, instead we will celebrate his amazing 16 months.

So  we will be posting photos and happy memories to share with you all.

These photos were taken on his first holiday abroad.  Majorca with his nana, mummy and auntie. He was the ripe old ago of 5 months and a total water baby.

we had a blast.

Too many times, people feel they can’t mentions James name.  But that couldnt  be further from what we want.  We love nothing better than to share the amazing memories we have of him and other people’s memories too.  So those that knew him, why not share your memories or photos of James Zander Anderson.
