Yearly campaign
Fall (Sept/Oct/Nov)
Our baskets are made available to every single family that delivers a stillborn baby at the NMMC-Women's hospital.
The social workers at NMMC-Women's Hospital are made aware of the loss of a child at birth, and they meet with that family and provide the basket on our behalf.
How to Get Involved
The community can support through purchases or by sharing our posts on Facebook.
We host a yearly campaign to allow the public to purchase gifts through our Amazon registry.
These gifts are used in the bereavement baskets and delivered on Nov. 20th each year.
