How many stillbirths did you hear about? If you are like many people in America you probably heard of only a few, if any. One baby in that enormous number is the daughter of the creators of Stillborn Speak, Inc. The United States has one of the worst stillbirth rates in the world when compared to developed countries. That fact was just one realized by the creators of Stillborn Speak after the loss of their baby girl. Stillborn Speak is a nonprofit organization in Christiansburg, VA, created to educate the public on stillbirth and provide monetary and grief assistance to those encountering stillbirth. When a baby is stillborn, often the entire funeral and burial costs fall on the grieving family. Insurance companies rarely pay for any services to bury a stillborn child. Stillborn Speak plans to provide financial assistance to qualified families/individuals to alleviate some of the costs associated with funeral and burial expenses. The organization's educational aspect will use publically accessible data to demonstrate the problem in the U.S. The data will be accessible through their website and on brochures given to local doctor offices and clinics. Information about paying more attention to your growing baby will also be available through the brochure and website. Stillborn Speak needs your help. October is national infant and pregnancy loss awareness month. During the month, Stillborn Speak will be raising money through an online campaign and on their website. The organization is raising money to provide financial assistance to local families experiencing stillbirth. Stillborn Speak wants to alleviate the financial burden placed on grieving families, but they can't do it without your assistance!
