Recipient Stories

Adalyn’s legacy lives on by helping us destigmatize stillbirth. My husband and I both have visible tattoos honoring her. We speak about her often, include her whenever someone asks how many children we have, and make sure she continues to be part of our family’s story. Cassidy knows all about her big sister.

Myles William was born, and the final piece of our family was here. A month later, Michelle photographed our rainbow family session, honoring Luna by wrapping Myles in a purple wrap (the color I’ve always used to represent Luna in our lives) — a beautiful reminder that she will always be part of our family.

Sarah and Michael showed incredible strength. We had been told they likely wouldn’t survive birth, yet they stayed with us for 30 precious hours. They fought with everything they had until they couldn’t fight anymore. They taught us how to love. They taught us what strength truly looks like. They gave us the resilience to…

I don’t think I’ll ever fully heal from losing my son, but On Angels’ Wings was there for me during one of the darkest moments of my life. They continue to keep Miles’ memory alive and remind me that, even when it feels like everyone else has forgotten the child I carried, they haven’t. And…

After losing both of our boys, grief is complicated. For me, one of the hardest parts is my fear of forgetting the little things—their features, dates, and details. Part of me wants to stay lost in grief because that’s where I feel closest to them. When I allow myself to feel joy, sometimes I feel…

Jewels was the purest soul I have ever known. Despite everything she endured, she was a light. Her smile felt like a gift, and she had the kind of beautiful spirit that made you feel like you’d been in the presence of angels. She was equal parts sassy, joyful, and full of love. I miss…

Even though Elizabeth Rose isn’t physically with us, she still received her miracle of being healed. She taught me the importance of life and not giving up. Because if she had the strength to endure everything she was going through, so can I, no matter what life looks like.

Today, Jamison is still fighting. Leigh syndrome is a lifelong diagnosis, but he continues to beat the odds and prove doctors wrong. Having his trach removed in May 2025 was a huge milestone. He still uses his G-button to help with nutrition because gaining weight remains difficult, but overall, his diagnosis has become such a…

Her BPD diagnosis felt incredibly overwhelming. Every day we watched her struggle, even with the level of support she was receiving. Her doctors explained that she would continue to struggle until her lungs grew and strengthened, and that simply took time. We were fearful that she would tire out from working so hard to breathe…

We had been told that we might never hear a cry or see any movement from our son. But Jack continued to defy the odds. Before they placed his breathing tube, he cried. He came into this world ready to fight. We knew the chances of survival were slim, but all we were asking for…
