Cardia, Spreading HOPE for Ruel Grant
Ambassador Cardia duhaney, fundraising in memory of Ruel Grant
“My most precious memories is briefly holding my angel. Hearing his voice as he cries was so painful because I couldn’t cuddle. That cute little boy will never be forgotten. I stay connected with my angel by putting him to rest , as such I am able to visit his grave whenever I want and celebrate his birthdays yearly. Thanks to family and friends whom have help me cope and to reach a point where I can now encourage and motivate others by breaking the silence .
RTZ helps in spreading awareness. Breaking the silence. RTZ helps by giving grieving parents an opportunity to express themselves.”
Pregnancy and infant loss is an unique type of loss, leaving the grievers to feel isolated and unsure of how to move forward. We'd be grateful if you you would consider making a contribution to Cardia’s fundraiser in honor of Ruel Grant. Your gift ensures that other parents who endure loss on their journey to parenthood have the support, resources, and community they need in order to navigate life after loss.
With your support, here’s what we were able to accomplish during 2022 (2022 Annual Report):
Fifty percent of support group participants received financial support to ensure that all parents have access to services.
Enhanced outreach to and created support services for Black, Indigenous, and other Communities of Color as a response to the alarming rate of preterm births and stillbirths caused by racial disparities in perinatal and infant health.
Offered 50 different support group programs (virtual workshops, virtual support groups, and in-person retreats) to our community of bereaved families.
Supplied our unique perinatal bereavement guides to 400 hospitals and providers to assist in caring for grieving families.
Hosted 10 perinatal bereavement education webinars to parents and providers.
Created community and spread awareness about pregnancy and infant loss through social media.
