Jorja, Spreading HOPE for Baby Robinson
Ambassador Jorja Robinson, sharing in memory of Baby Robinson
“My husband and I have lost two babies. It was extremely rough the first time. It broke us. The second time was no less harder but we weren’t as far along as the first time. I will say it has made us stronger and brought us closer together and we’ve bonded over the loss. But nevertheless, it’s still a huge loss and gaping hole in our hearts. I still have my rough days where it hits me. It doesn’t get easier because you go through it more than once. You’re still losing your baby. It’s hard to have hope after going through such a traumatic thing but I realize we have to. For ourselves, our partners , our bodies and so other moms have hope.
It’s so vital and important that we have someone to turn to and somewhere where we have the resources to get through this hard time.”
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. 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.
