Hello Friends & Family,
Share Pregnancy & Infant Loss Support , a 501(c)3, non-profit organization, has been providing free support to families since 1977 who have suffered the tragic death of a baby through early pregnancy loss, stillbirth, and infant death. Share now is a worldwide organization and has been a part of laying the groundwork regarding parent and baby rights. They also provide education to doctors, nurses, caregivers, pastoral care personnel, and hospitals around the nation to help them understand the tragic effects of pregnancy & infant loss on parents and families.

When our baby(ies) came into the world, our hearts were forever changed. Because of Share, we were able to get through some of the most difficult times of our lives. We were given permission to love our baby unconditionally and find ways of honoring his/her short life with us.
On October 4, 2008, Share will be hosting the 7th annual Share Walk for Remembrance & Hope, a walk and memorial for bereaved parents, family members, friends and caregivers to share, heal and renew. I look forward to sharing a healing and hopeful experience together with those that have been touched by the tragic loss of a baby from all around the nation. It is difficult to understand the depth of sadness a parent feels when their baby dies, but knowing you are not alone in your journey makes a world of difference.
In honor of ______________________________ (baby’s name), I am asking for your support of Share and the National Share Walk that means so much to me, and to those who come year after year. It is easy to contribute. Simply follow the link below to (the Share fundraising page) or (my personal fundraising page). Know that your contribution, no matter its size, will make a difference in someone's life! By helping me reach my goal, you will be a part of the memories we make each year without our precious baby.
Thank you for remembering with me and honoring our baby’s short life...
With Hope,
(Your name here)
