Our mission is to provide resources and support to families who have lost their babies to stillbirth. Bodie's Light provides boxes of items and resources to help these families make memories with their child in the hospital and beyond. So far we have donated boxes to three local hospitals. All registration fees and donations will be used toward our mission.
