We have LOVED helping Madelyn's Fund get these Snuggly Bunnies into the hands of grieving families locally 🤍

10/04/2026

October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month—a time to remember the babies who are deeply loved, forever missed, and never forgotten. 🤍

For families experiencing the heartbreaking loss of a baby, sometimes having something tangible to hold can offer a small measure of comfort.

In addition to the bereavement and funeral assistance Madelyn’s Fund provides, we are honored to now offer grieving families Memory Bunnies from Gemma’s Hope.

Gemma’s Hope was created in memory of Gemma Hope Shaw, who was born at just 23 weeks and lived for two days before passing in her parents’ arms. After experiencing the overwhelming grief and isolation of losing their daughter, Gemma’s mom, Ally, turned that heartbreak into a mission to help other families feel less alone.

Today, that mission includes these incredibly soft Memory Bunnies, thoughtfully designed to give grieving families something tangible to hold close. Each bunny can be personalized with a weighted insert reflecting a baby’s birth weight, a small pouch to hold ashes or another treasured memento, or a scented sachet with a comforting fragrance.

We are incredibly grateful to Gemma’s Hope for helping us offer another layer of comfort and care to the families we serve.

Because every baby deserves to be remembered, and every family deserves to know they are not alone. 🤍

🏆 WE WON A GOODIE AWARD! 🏆

We are incredibly honored to share that Gemma’s Hope, KinderMourn & Deloitte received the Best Corporate Partnership Award at the 2026 Goodie Awards 💙

This award celebrates something we believe deeply in: when nonprofits and businesses come together around a shared purpose, the impact can reach so much farther.

Through our partnership with Deloitte & KinderMourn, we've been able to bring employees together to support Gemma’s Hope through volunteer opportunities, care package assembly, and tangible acts of compassion for families experiencing pregnancy and infant loss.

Every blanket, keepsake, note, and care package sends the same message to a grieving family: You are not alone. Your baby matters. Your grief matters. Your community sees you.

We are so grateful to Share Charlotte and Foundation For The Carolinas for creating opportunities for nonprofits and businesses to connect, and to Deloitte and KinderMourn for being incredible partners in this work.

And we're especially grateful for the families at the heart of everything we do. This award belongs to them.

💙 Interested in bringing your workplace into the mission of Gemma’s Hope? We’d love to connect! From volunteer opportunities and care package assembly to sponsorships and in-kind support, there are so many ways to make a difference together.

Honoring all October babies 🤍

10/01/2026

🩷💙 October is Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month. 💙🩷

Every October, we pause to remember the babies who should be here, the families whose lives were changed forever, and the nurses, doctors, and caregivers who walk alongside them through some of the hardest moments imaginable.

At Gemma’s Hope, we believe that how a family is cared for in those moments matters.

A memory made.
A name spoken.
A tiny handprint preserved.
A blanket placed gently around a baby.
A family given something tangible to hold onto when there are no words.

Those moments are why Gemma’s Hope exists.

And this October, we're setting an ambitious goal:

🎯 $10,000 for Gemma’s Hope

We know that's a BIG goal. And honestly, we're setting it intentionally. We want to make sure we have the resources to continue providing meaningful support to families and hospitals throughout the coming year — and we're currently tracking below where we'd hoped to be with contributions this year.

Every donation helps us turn compassion into something tangible.

Your support can help provide:
🤍 Held in Hope Care Packages for families
🤍 Memory-making supplies for hospitals
🤍 Resources for families navigating loss
🤍 Education and support for healthcare professionals
🤍 Programs that help hospitals provide compassionate, dignified care

Whether you give $10, $25, $50, or $100, you are helping make sure a family doesn't have to face one of the worst moments of their lives feeling forgotten or alone.

And if you can't give right now, sharing this fundraiser is just as meaningful. One share can put Gemma's Hope in front of someone who has been looking for a way to help.

Help us reach $10,000 this October. 🩷💙

Thank you for remembering with us.
Thank you for believing these babies matter.
And thank you for helping us carry their hope forward.
