Heaven Instead
"I wanted to give you the world, but you got Heaven Instead"
Programs and results
What we aim to solve
Every year, more than 26,000 stillborn babies are delivered in the United States. Families facing this devastating loss are required to make funeral arrangements for their child which can become overwhelming and costly. With little to no financial assistance available, families are forced to find a way to pay for an unexpected funeral expense. Heaven Instead's mission is to help alleviate the financial burden that follows this devastating loss, and to remind families they are not alone on their journey to grive and honor their baby.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Heaven Instead
Texas law requires a fetal death certificate to be filed and final arrangements be made with a funeral home for stillbirth deliveries or fetal deaths over 20 weeks gestation or 350gm in weight at time of delivery. Funeral expenses can be very costly and overwhelming to the family. Heaven Instead will offer financial assistance for end of life expenses to bereaved parents dealing the loss of a child due to stillbirth or fetal death within the hospital stay. This is a devastating time for any family. Heaven Instead is here for those families as they navigate this unimaginably painful experience.
