If you have found us because you have experienced a loss, our hearts go out to you. We welcome you to reach out and join us as we honor babies gone too soon. If you would like to speak with someone or need financial assistance fill out our online application form and someone who can help will be in touch.
Who we serve
The need is great in the state of Florida. There are no government funds available to support bereaved families who need to make final arrangements for their baby and ongoing support to rebuild their lives. With your support, we can support these families and make a difference in Florida.
The Florida Chapter has assisted many families with funeral services, hosted memorial gatherings remembering babies, and holds its annual Rock & Walk gathering the community and bereaved families to walk and raise funds together in honor of their baby to help future families.
If you would like to volunteer with the Florida chapter fill out this volunteer application form and someone will be in contact with you shortly.
Upcoming Events:
Florida Rock & Walks
The heart of our Rock and Walk is to let bereaved families know they are not alone. We strive to build awareness about pregnancy and infant loss, and bring the community together to support families who have lost a child to suicide, overdose, illness, SIDS, and so many other reasons. As we rock in chairs or walk laps together, we honor the children whose names appear on butterflies lining the path and are reminded that we can find hope. We celebrate their lives by rallying the community around these families and coming together for an uplifting gathering. We hope you will join us in supporting these families and honoring their children.
