Who is Kyleigh?
Kyleigh Elizabeth was born into Jesus’ arms on April 5, 2012, after passing away during labor/delivery at 39 weeks at Liberty Hospital Birthing Center. She never took a breath, but she is changing the lives of so many. Kyleigh is survived by her parents, two big brothers and one younger sister.
What is Kyleigh’s Gift?
When Kyleigh passed away, we, her parents, started Kyleigh’s Gift through the Liberty Hospital Foundation. It was a way to keep her memory alive and recognize the loving care and support our family received during our loss of Kyleigh from the Liberty Hospital Birthing Center nurses, doctors and staff.
What does Kyleigh’s Gift do?
Kyleigh’s Gift provides infant wellness education and parental support to families at Liberty Hospital.
- Every baby born at Liberty Hospital Birthing Center leaves with a Sleep-Sack Swaddle to promote safe sleep.
- Sleep-Sacks in various sizes are available for purchase in the Liberty Hospital Gift Shop.
- Pack & Plays, diapers and car seats are provided for families in need.
- Meal vouchers are given to NICU and Peds moms during their child’s stay at Liberty Hospital. Up to three meal vouchers may be used per day.

Kyleigh's Gift 
Kyleigh Elizabeth~ thank you for being the blessing you have been to so many. We promise to look after your mommy and daddy and your wonderful big brothers! Today we all went to the Kite Festival and had a peaceful time celebrating the sunshine and watching the kites float just below you in heaven.
Loving you and loving your famliy~

My dear wife – thank you for setting up a place such as this. As with so many things (particularly of faith), it’s one thing to profess to be transparent, and another to act in such a way. This is a wonderful place for us to share our joy, sorrow, grief and happiness that results from the experiences that we have with our daughter. I’m blessed to be walking this road with you.
I know exactly what you are going Aunt Pam sent me this link to try to help me. We just lost lost our little boy 10 days ago. He had a chrosome disorder that we knew about there is no survival rate we had him for 2 hours he passed in his daddy’s arm. I was not suppose to have him till Sept 29th so i have been angry that he came 2 months early i wanted all my time with him cause he was so active in my stomach alive and happy and i just wants to keep him that way. I miss him everyday. Thank you for making this page it helps to know i am not alone.
Nicole ~ I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your baby boy. Pam is a wonderful lady and has been very supportive to me and my family during our loss of Kyleigh. You are not alone. I will be praying for you and your family.
Thank you it has been so hard just going on day by day i feel like i am missing apart of me. I should be taking care of my little man not planning a memorial service for him. I am having a real hard time with that.
Nicole ~ I felt the same way and still do. I should be taking care of a newborn, not visiting her grave. Know that your baby boy is safe in Jesus’ arms and knows no pain. He is perfect in Heaven! Please continue to contact me whenever you want to.
