Help Shannon raise money

Firstly, thank you for taking the time to read our story. A long-time friend and his incredibly sweet wife sent us one of Bridget’s Bunnies Comfort Kits after one of our losses, and I was truly blown away by how special these kits are. Along with that gift, we learned about the foundation and the annual run held in memory of the little lives gone far too soon.

As many of our friends and family know, we have now experienced five heartbreaking losses—1 this year, 3 back to back 2 years ago, and one a few years ago. It’s something you never imagine yourself going through, and it’s a pain we wouldn’t wish on anyone. After my later miscarriages, I chose to speak openly about our little ones, despite feeling so much shame and self-blame. It was a difficult step, but one I will never regret. In sharing, I found connection—not only for myself but for others who have walked this same path.

Since opening up, many friends have reached out to share their own stories or simply to let us know we are not alone. We cannot put into words how much it has meant to receive flowers, messages, and support. The vulnerability others have shown has been a gift, and we are so grateful to have such a strong circle around us.

We have now participated in two Bridget’s Bunnies walks, and each one has been both comforting and uplifting—a way to honor our babies while remembering all the other beautiful souls gone too soon. This year, we will once again take part in Bridget’s Run for Pregnancy and Infant Loss, walking in memory of our five angels who live forever in our hearts.

If you would like to donate in memory of our little ones, or in honor of your own, we would be deeply grateful. Every dollar goes toward providing comfort kits to families experiencing pregnancy and infant loss. Having received one ourselves, we know firsthand how much of a difference they make on days that feel unbearably heavy.

And if donating isn’t possible, please don’t feel bad—your love, encouragement, and support mean the world to us. Thank you for walking alongside us in memory, love, and hope.
