Our History
God birthed this ministry deep into co-founder Khristie Staines' heart on the night of February 9, 2011. Holding her stillborn granddaughter profoundly impacted her life, igniting a passion to provide grief support for families facing the pain of infant loss. Alongside her cousin and co-founder Lori Dowdy, they aimed to offer solace to those dealing with the heartache of pregnancy loss and infant death. On March 15, 2016, they established a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to this vital cause.
