This episode may include some triggers for individuals that have suffered with infant loss. The purpose of this episode is to bring awareness around SIDS and the potential risks of vaccines. 
"There are unansewered questions about vaccine safety. No one should be threatened by the pursuit of this knowledge" Bernadine Healy, MD, former director, National Institutes of Health (NIH) 
Leigh of Brooks Mission, shares her heart wrenching journey of losing her son 20 days after the DTAP (whooping cough) vaccine. She knew the risks of vaccines, she did not give any vaccines in the hospital, her plan was to space them out and he got his first and only vaccine at 3 months old. In a devestating turn of events they found out that for some children, one shot it all it takes and their sweet Brooks never woke up from his nap on May 20th 2021. He was a perfectly healthy and thriving baby in every way prior to his death.
They soon found out that the nightmare they were living occurs to approximately 2000 babies a year.  SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) is the leading cause of death in infants from 1 to 12 months.  Despite the significance of this statistic, researchers know as much now about the causes as they did 50 years ago.  There are no treatments.  There are no tests.  They are determined to have Brooks remembered as having made a difference in this world. In his name, they have helped over 60 families navigate through the loss of a child. Through a variety of events, they have also raised awareness surrounding SIDS as well.
Since October 2021, they have helped over 60 families. Many families do not have employers who stand behind them while they grieve. Many families do not have the type of community surrounding them that we had at our lowest points. Your support of Brooks Mission will help families at their lowest moment. Your support will allow families the opportunity to grieve uninterrupted, without the additional stressors of life. Your support will hopefully allow researchers to continue to look for ways to prevent the tragedy our family endured in the future.
