After taking a few months to think about StillMama next steps, it has become so clear what they are and I wanted you to be the first to know.
StillMama will continue as a non-profit, 501(c)3 but will go back to it's roots. We will no longer supply hospitals with boxes. Instead will do what we set out to do in the beginning, create community and support through the lifelong grieving process.
I got the most impactful emails and messages after sharing that I was going to close StillMama.
"Your podcast saved my life."
"This was my favorite non-profit to support"
"Can we still do the Angel Walk?"
"I have listened to the same podcast episodes again and again"
"I still grieve for my daughter everyday, but thanks to your podcast and support page (Instagram), I am able to celebrate them both everyday!"
Not being a "supplier-of-boxes" will allow us to manage our revenue and impact based on our donor support, and still make what seems to be the largest impact in our community through our podcast and social media presence.
How you can help today:
1. Help us get back on our feet. Donate here. This is the most immediate need.
2. Save the date for our 4th Annual Angel Walk on October 4, 2025! Funds raised from the walk will help offset the cost of creating new podcast episodes (hoping to do 15 more!)
3. Go to our podcast and leave a review. By doing this, it helps more people see it.
I'm so looking forward to serving this community for many years to come. I have truly missed it.
All my love,
Doreen
