Thank you for your thoughtful donation to Empty Arms and my fundraising efforts. Monies raised are used to educate medical professionals, provide care packages to newly bereaved family members, provided one-on-one support when families first learn of their loss, allow continued group support for grieving families, and help families create wonderful happy memories with the babies they have lost.
As you may already know - Jim and I lost a baby in October of 2016. I was 25 weeks pregnant - We did not know the sex of the baby - but we nick-named them baby otter. Empty Arms is a wonderful organization that provided some light and support during our darkest days. Please support our efforts to support the great work they are doing!
Isa and Jim
Syrup Stampede

The Empty Arms Community Members not only hope to raise awareness of this awesome organization but also hope to demonstrate our want and desire to integrate our losses into poistive events surrounding the memories of our babies.
Empty Arms Bereavement Support serves members of the Western Mass community whose babies have died at any time during pregnancy or early infancy. We look to provide and create a compassionate community, fostering connections, validation, and resources to grieving parents.
