"...my husband and I don't know what we would have done without Heather by our side. Gavin came home from the hospital and despite a diagnosis which told us he would not even make it to birth, he lived for 5 weeks at home with our family.
The type of help we received allowed us to really enjoy our time with him knowing we had an advocate in our corner. We also were able to create wonderful memories while he was with us that we will cherish forever. Our time with him was better because of the preparations, navigation, guidance, and care. Thank you!

"I found Heather about 6 weeks after my son passed away. We had just spent 3 months with our baby unexpectedly in the NICU and our whole world had fallen apart. There are many things in my life I am stubborn enough to try and get through on my own, but this was not one of them.
Heather helped me talk through everything that I was feeling, and the overwhelming grief that comes from losing a child. I felt so lost, and quite literally in a matter of 3 months, my life as I thought it would be, was gone. I couldn't understand how you find the joy in life after losing a child. Heather was so patient and understanding with me, and together we began the process of picking up the remaining pieces of my life, and figuring out how to move forward.
Life got even more complicated when we found out soon after that we were expecting our rainbow baby. A time typically filled with joy and hope was replaced with fear and anxiety. We had no idea our son would be sick until he was born, so navigating another pregnancy knowing at the end we are not promised a baby that gets to come home with us was the second hardest thing I have gone through. Each week, Heather helped me to talk though my fears, navigate all the doctors and testing, and manage my anxiety for what was to come. It helped me get through those long months complication free. I don't know where I would be in my grief and healing if it wasn't for Heather. To have a space where I could share everything I was really feeling with someone who understands is a gift I'm grateful to have had.

"...without Heather we would not have been able to survive the loss of our son and help our daughter with the loss of her brother.
