Your Fundraising Dollars at Work
HHA’s Pre & Perinatal Hospice Program is working toward a future where no one experiencing pregnancy or infant loss is met with silence, discomfort or a lack of informed support. Our Infant & Pregnancy Loss Support Training prepares people to respond with greater understanding, compassion and confidence.
By participating in Wave of Light, you help fund scholarships that make this learning accessible to more people—strengthening the support available in workplaces and communities when it is needed most.
