  • I had a brother who died from infant death syndrome, it's so sad :( I love the video

  • That's sensational touching influence people heart to be empathy. You're just a Shadow, tears down from heart.

  • Thank you for sharing with us your grief and I am truly sorry for your loss.

    Question:

    How long has your foundation, been a sponsor for the Gerber life Insurance company?

  • We have no affiliation with Gerber, other than the fact that they were our insurance provider when we lost our son.

  • cried within the first 5 seconds...

  • this isnt a mad libs, but its making me cry... SAY NO TO SIDS!

  • aww!

  • thank you for sharing this, I was not aware of angelcheeks.

    I will pass this on to all my friends, thanks again!!

  • god bless your heart

  • ...Can't even write right now :(

  • No no...You got the gist of what I was trying to say. Yes! Your work is highly important. Your foundation is incredibly important and thank you for the hard work you all have done in creating it.

  • im sorry for u small Evan

  • Hmmm. Well. In the U.S.A we do live in the "Developed world." We have the chance. If you want to reduce infant mortality...rather than providing life insurance for funeral arrangements(though that is a very admirable action & goal) go out and VOTE - use your voting power to improve our Healthcare system in this country. This is the wealthiest country in the world and yet we do not have the best health? What is this? We have the money to kill people...what about the money to save people?

  • I would agree with your assessment on the U.S. health care system needing reform. However, infants can die by other tragic means outside of just illness. So, until the health care system is reformed, or infants never pass away, we will continue our foundation. And we'll continue to vote, as well. I don't know why you feel we must do one or the other, but we can accomplish both - I assure you.

  • i am 18 yrs old right now and i know that the day may come when i too will be a parent and watched this video tears ran down my face, and i honestly do not know what i would do if such a thing happened to me :(

  • *wipes away a tear*

    oh im really sorry i mean im only 16 but that is really really really really really really really really and i am sssssssssssoooooooooooo sorry to hear bout that *blows nose*

  • this is sad

  • R.I.P sweetangel

  • so sad:(

  • SIDS is a diagnosis of exclusion. It should only be applied to an infant whose death is sudden and unexpected, and remains unexplained after the performance of an adequate postmortem investigation including

  • Wow, there are so many "unwanted" children in this world, and then we have people who all they ever wanted was to be a mom or dad, and they either cant conceive, or loose a child. I wonder why adoption is sooo expensive..... and I think I need life insurance for my little angels... Evans family is in my prayers...

  • that is so sad : (

  • IM donating =] makes me feel like a better person =]

  • wonderful cause ^-^

  • Many people I know have lost their children soon after birth. Go Angelcheeks foundation!

  • This made me smile at first, then when I found out that Evan died, I got INSTANTLY saddened buy their loss. My condolences goes out to you and your family. The Angelcheeks foundation is a wonderfull idea, and it protects the unexpected, even though you never want to think of it, its good to know that its there for you!

  • crying my eyes out. my 2cnd son is now 6 mo old........you are so strong

  • that was propper sad :'(

    bless im

    R.I.P evan

  • Its soo Satisfying to see since I put this on our page its gone up over 30,000 we arent very popular lol but i just wanted to help in anyway i could!

  • I have to admit I am crying my eyes out right now after watching this vid. As a grown man I don't do that too often. Please let me know how I can help, and I'll use my myspace page to spread the word.

  • You are absolutely right. There are many causes that need to be represented in this world. This one is ours, which is why we have made a video about it.

    If I was more than one person, I would do a video about the children of Africa, the plight of women in Africa as well, the homeless in the US, the violence in the Middle East, and the ills of the US medical system.

    But our cause is to help families who lose children and can't afford those costs. And it is what we will focus on.

  • That was very well said,Hats off to you.God Bless.

  • So wait, Sids can strike after you take the baby home from the hospital? Is It a constant threat until age two? My condolences.

  • good video

  • So sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine the pain.

  • <3 i love the video, it was sad...still it touched my heart :D

  • at the moment i am literally crying

    D':

  • Good video!

  • I cry for you guys everytime I watch this.

  • is this real? do you not get health care in america? WTF is up with that? your child is sick you gotta pay??? what if you cant aford it? i'm confused. sorry i saw it an thought it was fake cause they was all like "cover the costs" an i was thinking what costs tis free! poor baby. made me so sad. good thing they wasnt supected of murder tho. that happnes alot in england with sudden death syndrome. i'm not into writing loads of soppy stuff. sorry for your loss

  • Congratulations on the star feature :-)

    x hugs x

  • Sorry!!

  • That's really sad.

  • A beautiful angel came for a time touching so many . . .

  • alotta video (cr)editing there

  • I feel so sorry for that family :(

  • REST IN PEACE BEAUTIFUL EVAN!

    Always an angel. In life and in eternal slumber!

    God bless you darling!

  • As a mother to two beautiful children, a 5 year old boy and a 10 month old girl, I wanted to say that I could not begin to imagine the pain you and all the other parents who have lost a child are going through. I PRAY EVERY DAY to my angels to keep my babies safe. I hope I never experience my worst fears. I will pray for your beautiful son tonight. I feel that you and all those other parents are the bravest people in the world. My heart goes out to you all!!!

  • Thank you so much, I remain a mother to two beautiful boys as well but one is now my angel watching over me. Your comment is very very sweet and very much appreciated so much.

  • Very touching. My heart goes out to you. Your son was absolutely beautiful....

  • Thank you so much, he was a cutie but I AM a little partial!

  • i'm sorry to hear about evan... he looked so cute

  • Thank you, yes, he was such a happy little guy.

  • really touching .. this is like the 7th time i watch this video .. i tear up every time , i don't really know if it's becouse of your loss or the people around you and just the understanding everyone has, witch you don't see very often.. how willing everyone is when something like this happens ..

    i really don't cry often, honestly. but this is just hunting .. becouse it is real

    bless you

  • well done

  • as a parent who has lost a child myself i understand the pain that it brings into your heart. i also know that finacially it is very costly. my cousin also lost a child last year and is still waking up at night crying. i thank you for bringing this message to you tube and you are completely right about losing a child, it is the worst thing that could ever happen. good luck and god bless to you and your family.

  • I just noticed that you're approving the comments. SO smart! Good call, my friends.

  • Congrats on the spotlight feature, my friends! Please, please, please, don't take the nasty comments to heart! Some people are going to be ignorant because they have nothing better to do.

    What you're doing is a WONDERFUL thing and sane, mature people know that.

  • Thank you Jen, I think we've come to the place that we know that there are people out there who are only on here to treat people horribly. So come on now, we need a babyluv soon!

  • oh god im a bubblin mess right now im still wiping the tears away my heart goes out to your family and others who have lost a child. such a lovly lil boi.

  • we love evan

  • Ok i know this is touching you and stuff

    but

    posting this on youtube isnt going to make a difference because people who search for this are already aware

    i am well aware but other arent going to be. please dont waste your time on youtube go out there and properly make a difference

  • You are so right.

    But

    youtube can also be a good please for support from other people to make you feel better though.

  • YouTube is not our only vehicle for promoting this foundation. We have local TV stations, papers, golf outings, fundraisers, and are continuing to find more and more ways to promote it so we can help as many families as we can. Posting this on YouTube has brought thousands of dollars into the Foundation so far. It has made a huge difference. You must not have visited the Angelcheeksauction channel yet. Check it out.

  • This is fear-mongering at its highest! What a horrible way to sell life insurance! They say that life insurance will "preserve the memory of their infant" - well, pictures, and good interaction will do that more than bucks! Shame on you for producing this sham, and shame on you who cannot see through it!!

  • My initial response was to remove your comment, but it occurred to me that you have never lost a child. Including the medical expenses NOT covered by health insurance, it cost nearly $6,000 to lay my child to rest.

    Our foundation encourages people to get life insurance, and we try to educate people about what that means.

    However, our Foundation helps pay funeral and medical expenses for those who do NOT have life insurance on their child.

    Now, please explain how that is a sham.

  • In closing, we have hundreds of pictures of our son, video footage, and countless memories of him. That had nothing to do with money.

    Our Foundation's only tie with insurance, or insurance companies, is knowing that we were able to financially handle the costs of losing our child because of that insurance. Our Foundation doesn't fund insurance companies, it pays expenses for a family that loses a child. Families that couldn't afford it on their own.

    There's nothing to "see through" in that.

  • I'll add to what my husband has said to your comment and I, too, am glad it isn't removed because you allow us to do what part of this foundation is for and that is to educate people like you. You may want to watch the video again and really listen so you know what the foundation is before commenting. Life insurance did NOT preserve the memory of our child. My ability to bury my child with dignity in the way I chose to without taking money away from the rest of my family was important.

  • We simply want to be sure that parents who have to face the depths of hell that we faced, do not have to sacrifice anymore than they already have to get the support they need whatever that may be. I will pray you never lose a child, not only because it is the worst thing one can experience but also because if you were to ever lose a child after making this comment to parents who HAVE lost a child, the shame that YOU will feel, will be horrible.

  • Really sorry for your loss

  • I'm so sorry. He was a beautiful little boy.

  • ;[ aww

  • well i dont really think that insurance is what is needed here...

    its education for parents how to prevent this

  • Yes, visit our website. The foundation isn't just about SIDS, however, watch the video again, visit the site. Get informed.

  • I think that what you are both doing is a wonderful thing. I lost my nephew to SIDS and there wasn't much support - financial or otherwise. My brother and his wife didn't prepare (or expect) any of their children to die so soon. I will pass on the website. Thank you.

  • I'm sorry for your loss, truly. But your cause is getting insurance money for the parents? Really? You take comfort in that? I find that somewhat disturbing.

    Why not use the donations to research the cause of SIDS? Wouldn't it be more comforting to try and prevent future tragic infant deaths?

  • No, our cause is to educate parents about the importance of being prepared. Our cause is to also financially support parents after they lose a child. If you haven't been there, then you are correct, you do not know the comfort in being able to focus on a proper memorial for your child and the needed grief counseling after the fact. You are also misinformed that while our child died of SIDS, our foundation is not for SIDS.

  • Again, I'm really sorry for your loss. Ok well I wish you all the best and you're right,I don't understand it. I have two sons and if they were to die, it seems the last thing I would think about is money. But you have been there, I haven't, so I respect your opinion. Hope you get lots of support.

  • The last you think about IS money, correct. But when you don't have any and you want to memorialize your child, then the horrible horrible pain is only magnified. No family should have to worry about one more thing.

  • That does make sense.

  • while life insurance is important, so is research. please give to the CJ Foundation for SIDS so we can find a medical solution.

  • Hope the best for all children! I'm faving this for others too see.

    Deeply sorry for you loss.

  • is so sad to hear that one chlid dead i m verryyyy sorry for your loss andi want to said that god well help us to change the sutiation to the best

  • omg so sad...

  • Imagine if everyone who watches this video goes to the Angelcheeks website and donates just a dollar. We'd have enough to help so many families.

  • the BB was so Q!!

  • Congrats on the spotlight feature.

    RIGHT ON!

  • Goodness! Tears are streaming down my face as I watch this. I don't have any children, and I don't have any idea what it would be like to lose a child. I am so sorry for your loss, and I am certain that Evan is watching you from Heaven, and he is very proud of you for all of your humanitarian work.

  • nice job

  • i like the picture at 0:52^^

  • so sad )=

    i´m sitting here howling ^^

  • I am so very sorry for your sons passing. Please know I will keep you in my prayers, and thoughts.

    He is a beautiful baby, with a beautiful spirit. I love his laugh. Thank you for sharing his life, and his contagious laugh.

    This is a most beautiful tribute to his memory, a nd will help others who face such a heart breaking tragic loss.

    May God bring peace and comfort to you.

    Also, to those who are responsible for AngelCheeks, God Bless you all!

    Many Blessings!

  • this video is so sweet and beautiful

  • SIDS is directly related to Vaccinations. Proven fact but doctors will tell you that it is nonsense. Who are you going to listen to ?

    Google, 3rd leading cause of death and you will see the truth

  • Interesting. Do you have anything to back that statement up? And if that is true, what do you suggest? We don't vaccinate our children?

  • How did he get SIDS?? That's really sad. Everything happens for a reason though and maybe he's going to come back to your family in his next life!

  • You don't "get" SIDS, it's not a disease. Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Mysterious cause of death.

  • I know what SIDS is. But it's caused by babies being shaken....and I didn't want to say that and be rude, but you're clearly a rude ass and commenting all over this video and arguing with these people who have lost a beautiful child. get a life and stop making their life miserable. you're probably a fat blonde typical american whore with stupid kids. =) go bush! NOT

  • I hope you aren't saying that SIDS has anything to do with shaken baby syndrome? If you visit our website, we have information regarding SIDS. This foundation, however, is not about SIDS. SIDS is how our son died but we are helping parents of children who pass away from any cause.

  • Taylor, apparently when you get ratled you resort to ugly comments and insults, so have a nice ride on the uninformed, thoughtless road of life. btw, it is clear to all who read your comments that you DON'T know what SIDS is, so you are just proving how foolish and defensive you are by saying you do.

  • You think hes rude but you've accused these people of killing there child. Shaken baby syndrome is different to sudden death syndrome - SIDS - Cot Death to the english as i had to google, is terrible. in england there is no worry of cost really only prison as most people are accused of murder and sent to jail days after there childs death. no time to mourn as its not a widely reconised... medical thingie i guess in england. sad isnt it. Taylor needs to look up facts before commenting.

  • i feel ur pain man. my son was 5 days from his due date he dropped into the birth canal and his cord wrapped around his neck and it killed my only son. then 6 days later my wife lost her mom.I am fortunate 2 have 2 beautiful daughters.

  • 5&F

  • really beautiful

  • so sad so I can't describe it :*(

  • This is soo sad ur son is in heaven and God is taking care og him !! :(

  • I don't believe in life insurance policies for children. Some states have outlawed them because psychopathic parents have actually killed their children for the money.

  • I disagree. Most parents are not psychopaths who kill their kids... It's reasonable to include the insurance in your portfolio to protect a family's resources, ease the grieving process (without extreme financial worry)while you try to move on with your life...

  • First, there isn't a state in our country that has outlawed life insurance. Second, not believing in life insurance for a child, when there are nothing but benefits from it, is a shame. When an insured child turns 18, the money paid to the insurance company is then ALL available to the child, for school, books, etc.

    Your views are uninformed, which is forgivable. It's one of the reasons we try to educate people on the security for your family that comes from life insurance.

  • Nothing but benefits? Why don't you read this and then tell me who's uninformed?

    crimelibrary (dot) com/notorious_murders/family/g­arrett_wilson/9.html

    Need a second case?

    offthekuff (dot) com/mt/archives/004392.html

    How about a third?

    crimelibrary (dot) com/criminal_mind/psychology/f­athers_who_kill/10.html

    It's a shame how people on Youtube always get attacked for having differing views. That's why I try to educate people to back themselves up before they open their mouths :)

  • What you have shown is that you can use Google. Nowhere in your articles does it substantiate your claim that children's life insurance has been outlawed. In that, you are uninformed.

    I do not dispute that there are sick people in this world. But they are a minuscule fraction of the parents who purchase insurance.

    I have not attacked you. I simply tried to correct your inaccurate statements, on which your comment was based. This wasn't an attack either. It was another attempt to inform you.

  • omg thats soo sad, im so sorry 4 ur loss...

    i wanna cry ={

  • I am a 21 year old guy, my mum died when I was young.. I watched this and now my keyboard is drenched.. I couldnt stop this has touched me like nothing else. Please keep strong!

  • Can't stop tears from falling. As you said, you don't expect this to happen. I'm touched. Your strength is amazing. By this video and by everything you do you make people who lost their happiness strong again, you help them get their feet back on the ground, and time to memorialize their baby, time to cry and not to worry about lack of money. Thank you for your strength.I'm sorry for your loss. Evan's in good hands

  • Well

    as i always say

    it's in a happy or better place. =)

  • i know how you feel. my boyfriends little brother died 2 years ago from sudden infant death syndrome(or how ever you spell it). it was so hard for him.....his mom just recently had a new baby! and he is happy

  • I am so sorry for your loss. This is a beautiful and powerful video.
