REQUEST CARE

You don't have to
walk this alone.

Whatever you need right now — a care package at your door, help with the costs of loss, or a room of people who understand — we're here. Choose what feels right for your family today. There's no wrong answer, and nothing you need to explain.

There's no cost.

Every service is fully funded by donations. Always free.

We'll respond personally.

Usually within 48 hours. Always by a real human.

You set the pace.

Take what helps. Leave what doesn't. We follow your lead.

No detail is too small.

Or too big. Share as much as you'd like — or as little.

We support families who have experienced a miscarriage or stillbirth, or who have lost a child within the first six months of life. Requests must be made within three months of your loss.

Choose what you need.

Pick the one that fits where you are today. You can come back for the others whenever you're ready.

01 HEALING SUPPORT

Care packages, made with love.

Each care package is hand-assembled with the family receiving it in mind. We send them anywhere in the country, to anyone navigating pregnancy or infant loss.

What's inside

  • Journals and devotional books to support the healing process
  • Grief literature — gentle, loss-informed reading for hard days
  • Self-care items chosen with mamas in mind: small comforts that say you matter, too

02 FINANCIAL SUPPORT

Lifting the practical weight, so you can grieve.

We help shoulder the costs that come with loss — both the heavy ones and the everyday ones — so families can focus on what matters most.

Funeral and burial expenses

If funeral or burial arrangements are needed and life insurance isn't available, we may be able to assist. This support is reserved for families experiencing financial hardship.

Domestic expenses

We help with the day-to-day things that don't pause for grief, including:

  • Groceries and meal support
  • Lawn care
  • House cleaning
  • Other practical needs as they arise

These services can be provided during pregnancy, after a miscarriage or stillbirth, or for the loss of a child within the first six months of life.

03 COUNSELING SUPPORT

Grief is its own kind of grief — and you don't carry it alone.

There's a particular weight to losing a baby. We offer two ways to find community and professional care while you walk this road.

Seasonal support group

We host a virtual support group that meets a few times a year — a quiet, gentle space where families can talk, listen, or simply be with others who understand.

Local counselor referrals

If you'd prefer one-on-one professional support, we keep a list of trusted local counselors and resources available on request. Counseling services are not provided directly through the foundation, but we'll happily point you toward someone who can help.

Don't worry about getting it perfect.

We've already pre-filled the basics so you don't have to remember a checklist. Just fill in what feels right — even a few lines is plenty for us to reach back to you.

  • Your name and contact info
    So we can reach you back. Tell us if you'd prefer email, text, or a phone call.
  • Your mailing address
    For care packages, we'll need an address to ship to. For domestic support, we'll need a general location.
  • What kind of support you're hoping for
    Care package, financial help, support group, or all of the above. Don't worry if you're not sure, just tell us where you are.
  • A little about your family (optional)
    How many kids, your situation, anything that helps us serve you well. Share what feels right.
  • Your baby's name (optional)
    If you'd like us to know it. We'll hold it gently.

Your email will look something like this.

HELPING SOMEONE YOU LOVE?

Request support on someone's behalf.

If you know a family who could use our help but doesn't know about us yet — you can reach out for them. Just include your relationship to the family and their contact info, and we'll follow up gently. We'll never reach out to them without checking with you first.
