Keeping Our Babies’ Spirits Alive with Kaitlin, mother to Jonah and Gabe

 

 

Donate Hospital Toolkits

You can order our toolkits to give directly to your local provider or hospital so they are available for the next family experiencing loss.

We have free sample sets of brochures (email connect@rtzhope.org to get yours) or you can purchase packs of brochures or our exclusive Pregnancy and Infant Loss Self-Care Box in your baby’s memory.

You can also tell your your provider/hospital about the RTZ HOPE materials and share our website so they they can order directly from us.

 

 

CREATE NEW RESOURCES

You can work with a nurse or social worker in order to help create better bereavement support programs for parents who experience pregnancy and infant loss.

You can also create a list of local resources to be included with brochures that families receive. This can recommend therapists, support groups, and/or support organizations. RTZ HOPE has a Support Directory you can use and share as well.

One mother wrote a letter to the president of her hospital describing her experience and aftercare. From there, the hospital made it a priority to educate their staff and put programs in place to help grieving parents both at the hospital and afterwards.

FUNDRAISE FOR HOSPITALS

Many small hospitals do not offer items like Cuddle Cots, handprint/footprint kits, or trained photographers.

You can start a fundraiser for any of these assets to ensure that future families experiencing infant and pregnancy loss can have more time and ability to create memories with their babies.
