Today would be Dempsey’s 7th Birthday if she were still here with me physically. Those who know me, know that she is very much still here with me spiritually; From the memorial tattoos that dot my arms and shoulders to the foundation that continues to help grieving families in her name.
This week I took some time and honored Dempsey at a concert for her foundation. We raised over $600 for headstones for low-income families who have also lost babies. It was a great day of performances and activities (I’ll post photos tomorrow). A lot of people at the event expressed a desire to help the additional families on our waiting list who are patiently waiting for headstones for their babies. Here are some ways you can help:
