Stefan, Spreading HOPE
STEFAN LENDI, FUNDRAISING IN HONOR OF PARENTS WHO HAVE ENDURED LOSS
“I have been involved with Return to Zero: HOPE from the beginning and am proud to serve as a board member. Kiley is a dear friend of ours, and we have been here to support her and her family through this tragic loss.
Pregnancy and infant loss happens, and because there is stigma surrounding it, families suffer in silence. At Return to Zero: HOPE, we want to break this stigma and let people know that there is help as well as assist people in accessing the resources and support.
We also believe in the importance of preparing health providers with education and training in order to become more confident when working with grieving parents.”
October is Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month.
Our HOPEtober annual event honors all losses on the journey to parenthood.
Even though so many of us have experienced pregnancy or infant loss, or know someone who has, it is a loss that exists in the shadows. As bereaved parents, we feel isolated and alone. But together, we can shine a light on pregnancy and infant loss, helping others to live a life that holds both grief and joy.
HOPEtober Luminaries partner with us during the month of October to be an advocate and ambassador in spreading awareness and shining a light on pregnancy and infant loss. By sharing our stories we’re bringing awareness to pregnancy and infant loss, as well as the resources and support that exist through Return to Zero: Hope. As a nonprofit, raising awareness and funds are essential to our cause and support programs.
We'd be grateful if you you would consider making a contribution to RTZ HOPE. 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.
This year our goal is to raise $75,000 during the month of October so that we can continue spread hope and healing by providing resources and support to grieving families and their care providers.
Thank you for helping to shatter the silence around pregnancy & infant loss.
