Our sweet friend has suffered an unimaginable pregnancy loss. We would like to organize a way for others to do what they can, near and far. If you would like to help in any other way please reach out and do so. Nothing can take away the pain, but lightening their load during this hard time really is an opportunity to support them all.

Meal Train: Scroll down to the calendar, and select a date that works for you. I’ve opened it for a month at this time, I’d like to make it 1-2 days a week for a few months after that.

If you’d like to provide the family with a gift card to use, there is a wishlist with restaurants local to the area, along with care card. This allows you to make any amount of donation and they will use these funds to select their own gift cards (over $200 to choose from, including Kroger, CVS, Walmart, Chipotle, Dunkin Donuts, and Doordash to name a few)

Target - Target Gift Card

This e-gift card allows access to all Walmart products. Useful for anyone anywhere.
Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because it offers access to things like pharmacies when a family you love is in need. Many aspects of surgical care are not covered by insurance - these expenses can add up. This is especially true when a family is on a fixed income. Items like canes, walkers, surgical gauze, and more - can all be underwritten in this way. (Bonus: It respects, as well, the privacy and dignity of the person you love). Supplements that are doctor recommended (always check) can also be covered in this manner. Walmart also just has everything so for someone who has lost their job it enables them to get what they need without spelling it all out. People are proud.
What To Express in Your Card: You'd do exactly the same. xo

Bearaby's Cotton Napper is a buttery soft, breathable, knitted weighted blanket made from long-staple certified organic cotton - helping you sleep more deeply and wake feeling rested and revitalized.
Ideal for all seasons, weighted blankets have been medically proven to aid naturally deeper sleep cycles. The weight on your body stimulates the production of serotonin (the happy hormone), reduces cortisol (the stress hormone), and increases melatonin, which helps you fall (and stay) asleep.
Plus, Bearaby weighted blankets use nothing but layer upon layer of natural, breathable, great-feeling fabric and an open-loop knit design to bring you the best knitted weighted blanket for blissfully deep sleep -- so you'll wake up feeling cool, calm, and collected.
Why We Love This Gift: During times of grief or anxiety, a weighted blanket can provide a biological cue to relax. The feeling of a weighted blanket "hug" signals to the brain that it's time to quiet our thoughts and slide into sleep. We love this gift because it can provide soothing comfort to those who feel alone or distressed - especially during times when you are unable to be by the side of a grieving loved one.
What To Express In Your Card: I want to give you a hug so badly. In the meantime, I hope this blanket offers some comfort. I love you.

For more than 25 years Cold Stone has served up the finest, freshest ice cream, cakes, smoothies, and shakes using only the highest quality ingredients, and of course, the signature process of preparing custom ice cream creation on a frozen granite stone.
