donating a star

Someone I know recently lost a baby at only 2 1/2 days old Chat Icon We want to do something in the baby's name. Someone mentioned donating a star.

Has anyone done this? Which website do you recommend?

I'm sorry for your friends loss
We had a friend who had the same thing happened and we had a tree planted in Israel in the babies name, I'm not sure about a star but it is a nice idea

Wow… I'm so sorry to hear that.


I like planting a tree much better… The star idea is very sweet, but honestly it's kind of a scam… No one owns the galaxy and can permit the sale of a star, you know what I mean?

I know the problem with the tree is they are from Germany and living in CT but plan to go back so I don't think a tree is a good idea

I know they re kinda scams but in Germany you still see starts :) :(

What about a charitable donation in the baby's name? The star is nice but it does feel like a scam

There are some angel things/poems that could be printed nicely and given with the charity info. Check etsy.

So sorry for their loss

i like the star idea. true no one owns the sky, and i could never find the one i "own" as i'm horrible at coordinates, but i think just the sentiment behind it is beautiful. somewhere out there is a star named after their baby and all they have to do is look up to feel the love their child is sending from up above.

Thank you that's my thought. Do you know a company to do it through?
