Tiffany, Spreading HOPE for Tallulah Elizabeth

Ambassador tiffany narron, fundraising in memory of tallulah elizabeth

“I gave birth to my Tallulah girl in the spring of 2019 at 12.5 weeks. I remember waiting to tell friends, family, everyone, until I knew she was safety past the point when parents tend to experience loss. I remember the nervous excitement carrying her as my own little secret." Like nearly every woman in my family, I live with a severe case of endometriosis and was moving through a breaking point in that journey, searching for answers, my body in a constant state of swollen pain. After several ruptured ovarian cysts, blood transfusions, and a variety of medications attempting to lessen the hormonal imbalance of estrogen in my body. I was unsure of what my body would do with her now growing inside. My doctors assured me she would be fine if we continued the path we were on. I remember picking out a small Strawberry Shortcake doll for her like the one I had when I was small, onesies, little blankets with wild horses, a small rattle and tucking them away in a chest beneath my bed. I remember writing little love notes to her until the day she both entered and left this world too soon.”

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 Tiffany’s fundraiser in honor of Tallulah Elizabeth. 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.
