HOPE Partners

HOPE Partners have formed committed relationships with Return To Zero: HOPE. Through sustaining support they pledge higher dollars and work with the organization to develop co-branded programs and scholarships.

 
 
The experience of our two miscarriages shattered our family and broke our hearts wide open. The healing journey was supported by community, healers, resourcing and connection. RTZ HOPE provides all of these incredible support systems and lets you know at your darkest moment that you’re not alone and that you are held in all of your vulnerability and pain. Eventually, heart break integrated into heart opening as we healed and our family came together stronger and more vibrantly. We will always be grateful to RTZ HOPE and the beautiful work that they share with the world!

To be honest, I never specifically planned on “fundraising” for RTZ or the loss community; it happened organically. After losing my daughter, Banks, at 36 weeks, I was so shattered and hopeless but was able to get connected to RTZ, and it became a guiding light for me through my darkest time. My community of friends and family saw the impact RTZ had on me and my healing journey, and people just started asking me if they could donate to RTZ in Banks’ name. I was, and continue to be, honored that my daughter’s legacy continues to help this amazing organization that provides resources to other parents who are facing the unimaginable.
