High Bridge resident, Lauren Welch, wanted to do something special for mothers who have had a pregnancy loss after she experienced a loss in June 2022 and February 2023.  In memory of her babies, Alanna and Hudson, Lauren collected donations and assembled baskets that included items of comfort such as a blanket, tissues, a journal, a pregnancy loss book, a list of supportive resources, a door dash gift card and a personal note from Lauren.   The blankets included in the baskets were donated by the Hunterdon County Quilters Guild.   The baskets will be given to bereaved mothers at Hunterdon Medical Center.
