Dear HAND families and friends,

As we approach October, National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, we’d like to warmly invite you to our virtual Annual Service of Remembrance on Sunday, October 3rd from 10-11:30am. All parents, families and friends are welcome to join and help honor our babies. This year’s service will be held virtually, but in a format similar to our in-person services, with live music, poems and readings read aloud by parents, and a slideshow of photos and drawings.

Submissions of poems, letters or stories (400 words or less) are welcome, and parents are invited to read their own submissions during the program. Click here to RSVP and submit babies’ names, images and readings. Submissions of images and readings MUST be received by September 12th to be included in the program. We will continue to accept babies’ names through September 19th.

A Zoom link for the Service of Remembrance will be sent out the day before the event to all “Yes” and “Maybe” RSVPs. You are welcome to forward this invitation to family members who might like to attend. Please ask them to RSVP, so we have their email address.

We look forward to gathering together virtually to celebrate and honor our babies.

If you have any questions, please email us at SOR@HANDsupport.org.
