When we initially started the Bella Joy Foundation, our main goal was to help cover funeral costs for families who have experienced a loss of a baby. However, with having limited funds, we were looking for something that we could do right now. What can we do to let a grieving mother know that we care and that we are here for her? So we thought up the Bella’s Butterfly Box, a sympathy box for grieving moms who have experienced a pregnancy or infant loss. Each item we put in the box is thoughtfully chosen out according to the mama’s needs. We often ask for their stories (only if they’re comfortable sharing) so we  can get a sense of what to put in the box. Sometimes we personalize the box just for the mama. (Depending on the supplies we have,) each box that is mailed out looks a little different; no box is the same. We have donated many to local hospitals and we have mailed many out.

As of 12/20/24, we have donated, mailed, or dropped 49 boxes since 6/21/24.
