An estimated 1 in 4 women will experience a miscarriage and each day 71 mothers in the United States will give birth to a sleeping baby. H.E.A.Ling Embrace is a designated fund with Midlands Community Foundation that seeks to help families who have suffered the loss of a baby during pregnancy or infancy. In addition to the normal expenses of birth, bereaved families face expenses for funeral services, counseling, and may require in-home postpartum assistance. H.E.A.Ling Embrace helps families with these financial burdens so they can focus on healing, not the stress of unexpected bills. The local organization strives to make those who have lost the newest member of their family feel validated and understood during the most difficult journey they will ever have to walk, along with raising awareness in the Omaha area and beyond.
