ABOUT GEMMA'S HOPE

Our mission: To support bereaved families with meaningful keepsakes and grief resources, while equipping hospitals with practical perinatal loss materials.

Gemma’s Hope is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Charlotte, dedicated to supporting parents after pregnancy and infant loss.

We believe every baby deserves to be remembered—and every grieving family deserves compassionate, thoughtful care, both in the hospital and beyond.

Through donated care packages, grief books, keepsake materials, and practical resources, we help families create meaningful memories during the most heartbreaking moments. We also partner with hospitals to strengthen bereavement care through training, resources, and hands-on support.

HOW WE SUPPORT

Families Who Have Lost a Baby

• Held in Hope Care Packages: Families sponsor these care packages that support families during their hospital stay.
• Beautiful Keepsakes: Tangible ways to honor a baby's memory and create lasting connections to their child.
• Grief Resources: Practical articles and carefully selected grief resources to help families navigate life after loss -- all written by other bereaved families who have gone through this, too.
• Support & Connection: Information about nonprofits, support groups, and other organizations that understand the unique experience of pregnancy and infant loss.
