Every parent deserves to feel supported, every family deserves compassionate care, and no one should have to face pregnancy or infant loss alone.

The MJ Newkirk Foundation was created from a deeply personal experience of loss and a determination to transform grief into hope. Through our Give Hope campaign, we are raising funds to support two vital programs serving mothers and families in our communities.

Our Little Bags of Hope program provides thoughtfully prepared care bags to families experiencing miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant loss. Each bag contains postpartum recovery essentials, comfort items, remembrance keepsakes, a journal, grief resources, and other meaningful forms of support. The bags are provided at no cost to families or participating hospitals, helping ensure that grieving parents leave the hospital knowing they are seen, supported, and not alone. Each complete bag costs approximately $50 to prepare and deliver.

Our Blood Pressure Initiative focuses on maternal health education and prevention. The program helps expecting and postpartum mothers understand the warning signs of pregnancy-related hypertension and other dangerous blood-pressure changes. Through education, community outreach, monitoring resources, and hospital partnerships, we aim to help women recognize concerning symptoms and seek care as early as possible.

Your gift can make a meaningful difference:

• $25 helps provide recovery essentials, comfort items, or educational resources.

• $50 prepares and delivers one complete Little Bag of Hope.

• $100 supports maternal blood-pressure education, prevention resources, and community outreach.

• $250 helps strengthen both initiatives and expand our reach to more hospitals and communities.

Gifts of every size help us provide compassionate care, promote maternal health, and place hope directly into the hands of families who need it most. You may make a one-time contribution or become a monthly donor to help sustain this work throughout the year.

The MJ Newkirk Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Donations are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.

Loss doesn’t define us—hope does. Please join us in supporting mothers, comforting families, and creating healthier communities.
