LATEST FROM ABC15's KALEY O'KELLEY:
CHANDLER, AZ — Basha Accelerated Middle School in Chandler is home to the Knots for NICU club, an organization started by 8th-grader Karis Wales and a few of her friends back in 2022."To start the club, I met another pair of twins in the same grade. We were in the same NICU five days apart," said Wales.
"So, each of these dresses we work on with our group. We have about 30 members of the group, but only like 10 of them work on burial gowns. It's a hard thing," Wales explained. The Arizona mom says her son was born 25 weeks into her pregnancy. He spent four months in the NICU at Honor Health Scottsdale Shea."Being so close and knowing that life could have taken a different direction weighs on me heavily. It always will," said Warner.
"They're not just fabric. They're not just a dress. The fact that they're giving this up for us. It's... I'm holding someone's memories in my hand, and I can turn them into something beautiful," added Wales.
