In January, our world changed forever when we lost our daughter, Chloe Elizabeth Smith, to stillbirth. Amid our heartbreak, we received a beautiful, handcrafted memorial plate bearing her tiny footprints—an irreplaceable gift that gave form to her presence and a way to remember her always.

This keepsake was provided by an incredible organization, Mamie's Poppy Plates, that donates personalized plates to families who have experienced any form of child loss, regardless of gestational age. These plates, etched with the delicate handprints or footprints of babies gone too soon, offer grieving parents a tangible memory to hold onto when there is so little to carry home.

We’re fundraising in Chloe’s name to help Mamie's continue their work of compassion and remembrance. Every dollar raised helps create another plate for another family facing unimaginable loss.

In 2024, Mamie's donated over 1,700 plates across 27 states. Our team goal of $2,500 would fund 50 plates to families in need. Please consider donating or sharing to help us honor Chloe’s legacy and support other grieving families with the gift of remembrance.

Team fundraising is a powerful way for families to honor their baby’s memory while making a lasting impact on others. By sharing their stories and rallying support, families help raise funds that allow us to provide memory plates to others walking through unimaginable loss.

We are so grateful to all the families and friends who are participating in our 2025 Team Fundraising. Your courage, generosity, and love are what keep Mamie’s mission moving forward.

Every dollar raised helps us serve more families — and every story shared reminds others they are not alone.

We can’t wait to gather with you on Saturday, October 4, to celebrate, remember, and walk together in honor of your precious babies.
