Star Maps

About...

The Caislee Rylin Foundation was born out of a deep desire to honor the life of our daughter, Caislee Rylin, and to provide comfort and support to families navigating the unimaginable pain of stillbirth and infant loss. Our mission is to honor babies gone too soon by offering hope, remembrance, and healing.

 

One of the ways we do this is through our custom Star Maps, a tangible and heartfelt way to honor the precious lives of these little ones. Each map is created with care, capturing the night sky as it appeared on the day your baby entered this world. It serves as a gentle reminder of their place in your heart and the universe.

 

The Caislee Rylin Foundation operates entirely through the generosity of our donors. We rely on your contributions to fund our mission and provide resources to grieving families. To help support the foundation, you can receive a custom Star Map with a small donation to help cover shipping costs. These donations not only make it possible to send Star Maps to families across the country but also help us grow the foundation and reach more families in need.

 

We understand that financial circumstances can make it difficult to contribute. If you are unable to make a donation, you can still request a Star Map at no cost. As donations allow, we will provide these maps free of charge, ensuring every family can honor their baby, regardless of their ability to pay.

 

Every Star Map sent is a symbol of love and remembrance, and every donation made is a step toward helping us fulfill our mission of supporting grieving families and spreading hope in the midst of loss.

 

Thank you for being part of this journey with us. Together, we can honor the lives of babies gone too soon and help families find light in the darkness.
