Mollie, Spreading HOPE for Levi & Rhylee

Ambassador Mollie Calhoun, Fundraising in memory of Levi & Rhylee

“We stay connected with our babies by celebrating them every year in any chance we get. On their birthdays we always have a celebration pot luck style at home with our friends and family. Every holiday when we decorate our house we also decorate the shelf we have in our home we're both the babies ashes sit.

RTZ let's us angel parents know we aren't alone. Their are others out here that understand our grief. We can always reach out to someone and not feel ashamed to talk about our pain. ”

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 Mollie’s fundraiser in honor of Levi & Rhylee. 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.
