Help Build a Community of Care for Families Facing Baby Loss
When a baby dies, the silence is profound and all of the hopes, dreams and tiny moments that should have been are gone in an instant. That silence and emptiness echoes through homes, hospitals and communities, leaving lives forever changed. At Sands, we stand beside families in that silence, offering compassion, understanding, and hope when it’s needed most. But we can only do that because of your generosity.
Your support helps create a nationwide network of care — one that reaches grieving parents, grandparents, siblings, friends, and the professionals who support them.
This festive season, join us in bringing comfort and connection to families living with unimaginable loss.
