During the anticipation of his birth be brought much joy and excitement to his family and those around his mother. Everything seemed perfect till those ten minutes before his birth when everything went wrong.. Kenton's mother had planned on breastfeeding him, then donating her breast milk when he was done nursing. But there is a lack of knowledge, and or center's in her area for breast milk donation, as well as organizations to turn to while coping with the loss of a child where you can feel comfortable and home in conversation. We want to rectify the situation. Kenton's Place is a place of hope , where Families can come for support through the loss of their own child, through pregnancy, childbirth, conception, breast feeding, breast milk donation support and so much more. We want to support women who strive to provide breast milk to their babies and those who become hero's of sorts for providing tiny little humans with the milk they need to survive when their mother's are just unable to produce enough. Studies show that breast milk is best even if donated, and we want to provide this service in honor and Memory of Kenton.. (We are not currently providing breast milk)

While we are working on getting the breast milk bank open, we have been hard at work, providing support services to families who are coping with the loss of a pregnancy, infant, or child. We send cards to families whom we have been notified have lost a child, attend funerals, if parents wish we are with them during funeral planning. Our main goal is to emotionally support fellow families of loss. Please support us in this endeavor, and honor this little prince, and every child who has sadly passed away. We need Your help!
