In honor of Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month, Jen Stolz of Zoe Faith, Inc and Gabrielle Pfeffer, LCSW are joining together to throw SWFL's first ever Bracelet Party. Individuals, who are at any point in their journey after loss, will be gathering together to create something beautiful to honor their babies, share in community, and talk about grief.
Jen Stolz is the founder of Zoe Faith, Inc, a non-profit that exists to sprinkle joy, spread hope, and share love to those experiencing pregnancy and infant loss. In 2014, Jen and her husband received news that their baby had zero percent chance of survival outside the womb. Confused, afraid and heartbroken they decided to carry to term despite doctors encouraging them to terminate the pregnancy. During the remainder of their pregnancy, they grieved the loss of all they imagined as family of three, but they also went on adventures and made memories they had hoped to make one day with their daughter, Zoe Faith. Jen was profoundly impacted by the mingling of sorrow and joy she felt during this time. Six years later she still felt the impact of those memories and wanted to do something for families traveling a similar path and that is when she started Zoe Faith Inc. You can learn more of how she sprinkles joy, spreads hope and shares love by visiting www.zoefaith.com.
