New Hampshire

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 New Hampshire. 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 New Hampshire.

The New Hampshire 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.

Help your Community

COMING SUMMER OF 2021 – The New Hampshire Angel of Hope Monument

The monument will be located at Abbie Griffin Park, 6 Baboosic Lake Rd in Merrimack, NH. It will be a tranquil place to remember, honor, and never forget the little ones who have gone too soon through pregnancy or infant loss.

The Angel will be holding a baby and a poem of hope is etched in the granite next to the Angel.  Two butterfly monuments will be placed on the sides of the Angel of Hope and include the names of babies who are loved and remembered.  Benches will be placed so families can have a place to sit and reflect. Whether your child died due to miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant death, may you find healing and peace with a public memorial to honor your child.

To have a baby’s name etched onto one of the butterflies for the spring engraving,  fill out the form  on the Angel of Hope page and submit to TEARS by February 28, 2021  with either your participation in the Guardian Angel Club or a one-time gift of $250 and submit to The TEARS Foundation.
