HELPING WISCONSIN FAMILIES

Starts with you

We ease the financial burden of infant loss and stillbirth

 
 

 Join us on May 5th at ABC Supply Stadium in Beloit, WI!

 

Our Mission

We lead the way in providing financial aid to families that are facing a complex medical diagnosis or the loss of an infant or neonate. No family should not be able to seek medical help because of finances, and no family should come home with empty arms to a pile of medical bills.

 
 

Our Impact

Since 2019, we have been leading the way in providing financial help to families in Southwest Wisconsin who have recently experienced infant loss or who are seeking a life-saving treatment for a pregnant person or their baby. We pride ourselves on a quick application process and a quick response time so that families who are eligible for our grants receive help when they need it most.

Average amount of hospital bills

Out of the Madison area parents that were part of our 2019 survey, 100% of them had health insurance at the time of their loss. Despite this, the average cost of delivery was still $9,434.

"I really can't express how thankful my family is for this and I hope to get back into a position sooner than later where I can donate back to this awesome foundation!"

 

Marigolds have also been used for ages as a soothing and healing agent. While we can’t provide healing, we can try to soothe your journey and provide you with comfort through this difficult time.
