Today, your gift to a grieving family goes twice as far.

In loving memory of his daughter Meira, Brian and the Giving MEIRAcles Foundation are matching all donations up to $5,000 to sponsor bereavement camp stays for families who have lost a child two and under, or in utero. This special campaign runs through July 9th.

As we enter Bereaved Parents Awareness Month this July, we hold space for the families behind the statistics. With 1 in 4 pregnancies ending in miscarriage, 1 in 175 births ending in stillbirth, and more than 20,000 infants passing away each year (CDC), this heartbreak is far too common. No parent should have to walk through that dark chapter alone.

This match will provide a place of rest and healing for these families. Please click the link below to double your impact today. If you cannot give, simply hitting 'Share' helps us reach families who need to know they have support.

Donate via the Facebook Fundraiser here: https://www.facebook.com/donate/1495170635162191/2178357669372862
