Courage in Time is an organization based in Northern New Jersey. We are dedicated to bringing courage, compassion, and connection to families who have lost babies during pregnancy, birth, or shortly after birth. We also advocate within the medical community about the emotional needs of such families.
Courage in Time was established in memory of Lorenzo Francisco Martinez, the warrior son of our founder, Dr. Jillian DeGroot. Lorenzo was born at 27+4 weeks due to a placenta previa complication. He was diagnosed with (enter dx) and fought with courage for 12 beautiful days. Jillian is a full time bereaved mamma and licensed clinical social worker who is determined to celebrate Lorenzo’s life by helping families suffering through the death of a baby.
