Our Mission
Our mission is to provide support, comfort, and community after a pregnancy or infant loss. A care package will be given to parents who lost a baby at any stage in their pregnancy. In the ER, urgent care, and clinic parents receive a candle care package. On OB parents receive a full care package. Items vary but it typically includes socks, a cozy blanket, our candle, Rays of Hope poem book, a stuffed animal, weighted heart, Haigh’s Honey Farm body butter, and occasionally a 30 minute massage gift card from Balance Massage & Esthetics. Care packages are given with the aim of providing a tangible source of comfort and peace as they heal.
2025 News – Memorial Garden
We have incredibly exciting news kicking off 2025! The City of Hibbing has graciously approved the donation of Sargent Park in Hibbing, for our Hope Remembrance Park community project. This community project is in partnership & collaboration with the local Bereaved Mother’s Group. We will be beginning the designing and planning stages of our memorial garden early 2025. Our memorial garden vision includes fundraising for the Angel of Hope statue, memorial wall, paths, benches, and additional greenery & flowers. The goal of the community Memorial Garden is to provide a family centered place for healing, remembrance for pregnancy, infant, and child loss, as well as making memories. ****ALL FUNDRAISING EFFORTS from our 2025 Gala will go towards this community project****** We are incredibly thankful to be fully funded for our care packages this year & to be able to focus all financial efforts towards this project. This project aligns with our mission statement of providing support, comfort, and community after a pregnancy/infant loss.
