Hey there! I would like to introduce myself. My names Jennifer Lewellen and I am 26 years old from St. Louis, Missouri. This brand is something I created to carryout the memory of my son and bring awareness to angle babies everywhere.
In 2019 I delivered my sweet baby boy stillborn at 24 weeks. His name was Noble Grae Lewellen. It was an unexplained misfortune that made absolutely no sense to me. The doctors had no medical explanation as to why my son was taken from me and my heart was left broken with no closure. I knew the only thing I could do was trust in gods plan as difficult as that was. Losing a child is a heart break that nobody can prepare you for, and is a pain that never has gone away yet has only become "bearable" over time.
Getting pregnant isn’t easy for me, my husband and I have been trying to expand our family for quite sometime. In January of 2021 we found out we had gotten our prayers answered and I was pregnant. All I could do was cry happy tears and thank god that I was finally going to have the baby I wanted for so long.
7.5 weeks in and I was having awful pains in my stomach so we went to the hospital to find out I was miscarrying. Heartbroken again, I turned to god and put my trust in him that he knew what he was doing and had a plan for us.
After Nobles passing I knew that I wanted to do something to not only carryout his name but also bring awareness to stillborns as it's something that families experience on an everyday basis...After losing our second baby earlier this year it really gave me the motivation to get this clothing line started.
I delivered Noble at Mercy Hospital St. Louis and they had a great foundation created for mothers and fathers who lose children called Mercy Heart Prints. Mercy Heart Prints was a huge part of our grieving process. We were given a handful of items that were personalized to Noble, and sentimental items to help us navigate through such a hard time. They had support groups available and even today we receive little items at Christmas, his birthday, and cards on mothers and fathers day. These little gestures mean so much to me as they help me take the time celebrate Noble.
I want to make sure that all Moms and Dads are supported when they are going through this unimaginable time like we were. Knowing that they are not alone and they have people there to support them. I want to help every single hospital across the United States that doesn't already have something like Mercy Heart Prints put something in place to help parents navigate through this tough time. Wether that means donating so that there is funds to help create a program from the ground up, or just giving financial support to already established foundations it's my mission to see that no parent is left unsupported.
That is my mission, my why, my reason behind Noble Threads & Co.
When you support Noble Threads & Co you are choosing so much more than an article of clothing. You are choosing to help parents with grieving, you are choosing to bring awareness to stillborns and miscarriages, you are choosing to wrap your arms around another mother or father who so desperately needs your help, and you're choosing to be apart of a mission!
I'm excited to see this brand evolve overtime, but mostly I am excited for the good that it's going to do in the world!
