At Twinkle Star Project, we believe that meaningful change and healing happen when we come together. Across Canada and beyond, there are many incredible organizations working to support families who have experienced pregnancy and infant loss. Each one brings unique programs, perspectives, and ways to connect.
This page is dedicated too highlighting and celebrating those who share in this work, offering care, advocacy, and community for grieving families.
The Kayde Foundation provides compassionate, inclusive, and ongoing support for parents navigating the profound journey of pregnancy and infant loss. Their mission is to ensure families have access to care, guidance, and resources during the critical first hours after loss and beyond.
