After losing her daughter, this mom found a way to ease the pain for others.
Jennifer Jara's first pregnancy ended at 27 weeks with a heartbreaking loss.
"It was a very surreal experience," Jara, who now has three children ranging in age from 3 months to 4, told TODAY Parents."We left the hospital that night and basically got wheeled out in a wheelchair with a packet of information about funeral homes, burial and cremation. We were told, 'Make an appointment with your doctor in two weeks,' and, 'Good luck.' Not that the doctors and nurses weren’t empathetic, but that was all they could really do.
Six years after Jessica's death, Jara is hoping to help parents like her have one less thing to worry about after losing an infant by paying medical and funeral bills for families who have experienced a miscarriage or stillbirth."I sat down and thought about those days after Jessica was born," Jara explained.
As the organization grows, Jara hopes to cover a higher amount per family. And, the organization has enough money in donations to cover expenses for several more families in the coming months.
