01 ✦ GIVE
Every gift goes directly to a family.
The Sunny Side Foundation is funded entirely by donations — there's no overhead between your generosity and the family who needs it. Choose the way that fits you.
One-time gift
Make a single donation, in any amount, whenever you can. Every dollar goes straight into a care package, a meal delivery, or a burial fund.
Give in honor of someone
Make a tribute or memorial gift in honor of a baby, a parent, or anyone you love. We'll send a card to the family letting them know a gift was made in their loved one's name.

02 ✦ BRING
Send what we need,
straight to our door.
Care packages are filled with hand-selected items — and you can help us stock them. Every item donated is one less we have to purchase, which means more dollars going directly to families.
- Amazon wish list. Browse our regularly updated list of needed items like journals, devotionals, soft socks, candles, tea, and self-care goods. Ship straight to our PO box.
- In-kind drop-off. Local to Elkhorn, Nebraska? Reach out to coordinate a drop-off of new, unused items from our list.
- Corporate matching. Many employers match charitable giving 1:1 or more. Check with your HR team to multiply your impact.
03 ✦ SHARE
Be the friend who knows where to send them.
One in four pregnancies ends in loss. The most powerful thing you can do is make sure someone knows we exist before they need us.
OCTOBER 15 ✦ WAVE OF LIGHT
Light a candle. Let it travel.
Each year on Pregnancy & Infant Loss Remembrance Day, families around the world light a candle at 7 p.m. local time and keep it lit for an hour. The "Wave of Light" travels the globe. Light yours, share a photo, and tag us — every flame matters.
