Our Begining
Welcome and thank you for being here! My name is Melissa. I’m a Mother of 3. In 2017 I gave birth to my second child. He was born with a chromosome disorder. He had a Tracheotomy as well as a G-Tube, and to better prepare for him to come home, I purchased my first sewing machine to make him reusable items and save us some money. Unfortunately my sweet boy never made it home, he passed May 15, 2017. I left the machine in the box and hid it away, Until 2019 when Covid hit. I wasn't able to do a fundraiser to honor my son because the hospital was no longer taking donations. So to honor my son, heal a part of myself, & face a fear I dug out the sewing machine. I had only planned to make myself something that I could use and remember him by. When I posted a picture on Facebook friends and family went nuts, and that was the start of NDJ Gifts. My business is now a reminder of my son & my healing, as well as providing for my other 2 children, in hopes that one day this can teach them something whether that be how to heal a part of themselves or how to hustle through the hurt. Nevaeh, Dean, & James, My greatest gifts!
