Thank you for your thoughtful donation to Empty Arms and my fundraising efforts.
This amazing organization offered unwavering support during the hardest experience of my life. We lost our second child early in the pregnancy- I felt completely lost and miserable. Once I was connected to Empty Arms, I was quickly surrounded by an amazing tribe who truly understood the despair I was feeling. I am walking to fundraise support for other families who will need the love and support. Since the miscarriage in January 2016, we welcomed our rainbow baby Dominic Oliver . Our family continues to grow and heal ?
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.
Update! I met my initial goal as quickly as I set it thank you thank you thank you to my amazing donors! ??
