Every Baby Loss Matters – Giving Tuesday 2025

Hello Family and Friends,

This year’s Worldwide Give Tuesday 2025, taking place from December 2 to December 9, holds deep meaning for Aki and I. We lost our first baby on March 18, 2021, and our second on September 2, 2024. As we take part in this week of global generosity, we honor our two babies and all the little ones who are so deeply loved and missed. This journey has been the most difficult experience of our lives, and not a day passes that we don’t think of them.

Baby loss is profoundly traumatic and often carried in silence. No one should have to face that kind of heartbreak alone. I share our story because I want others to know that their grief matters, their baby matters, and they deserve gentle, compassionate support every step of the way.

This is why I am raising funds for Chasing the Rainbows, an incredible nonprofit supporting families through pregnancy loss, infant loss, and infertility. I have volunteered and worked for this organization for many years, and I’ve seen firsthand how deeply their services impact grieving families. We offer free daily support groups and essential resources that provide comfort, understanding, and community during the hardest moments of someone’s life. Your donation, no matter the amount, directly helps families receive the support they desperately need. All contributions are tax deductible, and every gift makes a meaningful difference.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for helping us honor our babies by supporting others who are grieving theirs. Together, during Worldwide Give Tuesday, we can bring more awareness, compassion, and hope to the families who need it most.
