Dear Friends of Footprints for Faith,
Footprints for Faith is celebrating it’s 10th year of supporting bereaved families in Southern Maryland by holding an eventless event! What better time to launch our campaign then during the month of October for Infant Loss Awareness Month? Similar to a bakeless bake sale, our eventless event allows you to financially support the only bereavement support organization in St. Mary’s County without even leaving your house.
Throughout our 10 years of providing resources, comfort, and support to families who have lost a baby, either through stillbirth, miscarriage, or infant loss, we’ve helped over 400 families. Our presence is there within hours of a loss and continues indefinitely. From Care Kits delivered right to the hospital room, to one-on-one support, grief support groups, and training for medical professionals to better support families in need, Footprints for Faith is there for the community when they need it most.
And we couldn’t have done all this without the steadfast support of our friends and families and the people of Southern Maryland who benefit most from our services. For example, in 2018, you, with the help of Footprints for Faith, raised over $15,000 to purchase a Caring Cradle for MEDSTAR St. Mary’s. A Caring Cradle gives newly bereaved families the gift of time by allowing for bonding, pictures, and the opportunity for other family members to come and meet the baby before the natural changes that occur in death become more apparent.
If you are interested in making an impact, big or small, please consider donating to Footprints for Faith at: https://footprintsforfaith.weebly.com/donate.html. We are a 501(c)(3) Tax Exempt Organization. If requested, a receipt can be emailed to you. Our 100% volunteer Board of Directors means that 100% of all donations go towards funding Footprints for Faith programs and services. In 2020, we are planning ways to support families with funeral home costs to lessen some of the financial burden.
If you are unable to give at this time, but still wish to support Footprints for Faith, please share our Facebook page and/or website with your friends and family. Our community benefits when people get the help they need when they so desperately need it.
