Caislee Box

About...

The Caislee Box was born from one of the hardest moments of our lives—the moment we left the hospital without our daughter. When Caislee was born still, we were given a simple shoebox to carry home the few keepsakes we had of her—her tiny footprints, a hospital bracelet, and the memories we had to create in the brief time we were given. That box, though it held everything tangible we had left of her, felt so painfully inadequate. It was a heartbreaking reminder that instead of carrying our daughter in our arms, we carried only a box.

 

In the midst of our grief, we knew we wanted something different for other families walking this same unimaginable road. We wanted to create something that wasn’t just a box, but a sacred place—a beautiful, intentional space to hold the precious keepsakes of a baby gone too soon.

 

The Caislee Box is handcrafted with love and adorned with a ribbon of your choice, allowing each family to make it personal and special. Inside, we include thoughtfully selected keepsakes and resources to help navigate the journey of loss and healing. Every detail is chosen with care, created in memory of Caislee, and shared as a way to remind grieving parents that they are not alone.

 

This box is more than just a place to store memories—it is a symbol of love, remembrance, and the truth that your baby’s life, no matter how brief, is deeply cherished. It is our way of wrapping you in comfort, of holding space for your pain, and of making sure that when you walk out of the hospital, you are not carrying just a box—you are carrying the love, the honor, and the support of those who understand.

 

Bringing the Caislee Box to Families in Their Darkest Moments

 

No family should have to leave the hospital or funeral home with nothing but a cold, impersonal box to hold the only physical memories of their baby. We believe that in the midst of unimaginable loss, families deserve something beautiful—something created with love, care, and understanding. That is why we are working tirelessly, alongside our generous donors and supporters, to make the Caislee Box available in hospitals and funeral homes everywhere.

 

Through heartfelt donations, sponsorships, and the kindness of those who believe in our mission, we are striving to ensure that no family has to ask for something better—it will already be there, waiting for them in their time of need. We are actively partnering with hospitals and funeral homes to provide the Caislee Box as a dignified and meaningful alternative to the standard keepsake boxes often given to grieving parents.

 

For families who find themselves facing this heartbreak in a hospital that does not yet offer the Caislee Box, we want them to know they are not forgotten. We are committed to making these boxes available for individual requests, ensuring that no family has to navigate this pain without the support and care they deserve.

 

This mission is deeply personal to us. We know what it feels like to walk out of a hospital empty-handed, and we are determined to change that experience for others. Every donation, every sponsorship, and every shared story helps us reach more families—helping them feel seen, supported, and reminded that even in their darkest moments, they are not alone.
