The I Am the Face campaign is simple: to spread awareness of pregnancy/infant loss, and raise support for those who are affected by it. “Every single day in the US, 2,000 women lose a baby to pregnancy/infant loss. That’s 700,000 a year, a quarter of every female in this country. So why does no one talk about it?”
This site started as an awareness and fundraising campaign for 2010′s National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day on October 15th, 2010. Our goal was to get 2,000 faces up on the site to represent the 2,000 women who lose a baby every single day in the US alone, which we were able to accomplish. Going forward, Faces of Loss, Faces of Hope is using this site as our main awareness-building tool. Our new goal is to have 14,000 faces up by next October 15th. That’s 14,000 faces to represent the 14,000 women who lose a baby in just one week, and raise $14,000 to support them.
Donations will go to Faces of Loss, Faces of Hope, a nonprofit organization with a mission of providing support and resources for parents who have lost a child through miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant loss and to spread awareness of pregnancy and infant loss throughout the greater community.
