On December 15th, 2017 and January 18, 2018, the West and Uecker families’ lives were turned upside down. What they experienced is something no parent should ever go through. In the snap of a finger, their babies stopped breathing. After going through this horrible nightmare that was a reality, Melissa West and Allison Uecker became forever friends. With the help of each other, they are working to overcome this tragedy together. Through this agony and pain, they formed The Briggs and Barrett Project to help prevent and better educate parents on Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and Sudden Unexpected Infant Death (SUID). If something positive can come out of this nightmare, it's this project. Briggs and Barrett's missions were to do some amazing things, while not here on Earth, but from Heaven and through the project their moms created. These two moms and their families are committed to providing newborn parents with SIDS and SUID education, tools, and resources.
