Pregnancy Loss Remembrance Day October 15th

|
On October 15 of every year, at 7 p.m. your time, light a candle for one hour in memory of our babies who were lost far too soon. As each time zone extinguishes their candles and the next one lights theirs, we create a continuous wave of light around the world to remember our angels.
