We did it! Together, we unlocked $20,000 for HOPE.
Over 48 hours, 143 gifts were made to RTZ Hope, surpassing our goal of 125 and unlocking $20,000 in matching support.
For the second year in a row, our community came together to meet our HOPEtober challenge!
To everyone who donated, shared our campaign, encouraged someone else to participate, or contributed to the matching fund: thank you. Your generosity helps ensure that grieving parents and families have somewhere to turn for understanding, connection, and compassionate support.
Because support can't wait.
When a parent reaches out after the death of their baby, they deserve to find someone who understands.
Your generosity helps make sure:
Someone is there to respond when a grieving parent reaches out looking for support.
Families can find connection through support groups, workshops, and healing experiences.
Healthcare and community professionals are better prepared to provide compassionate care after pregnancy or infant loss.
Thanks to this community, RTZ Hope can continue providing support, resources, and connection throughout the year—because families need compassionate care long after a fundraising campaign ends.

Your gift makes sure someone is there.
We often say that none of us wishes there were a need for a community like RTZ Hope. Yet we're continually reminded of the extraordinary compassion of people who show up for one another—and for families who will need support in the future.
Thank you for believing in this work, for caring for one another, and for helping us continue to bring hope after loss.
With heartfelt gratitude,
The RTZ Hope Team
