Welcome to Heavenly’s Friendship Promise. We understand that reaching out after a loss can feel difficult, so we’ve created this page to answer some of the questions you may have. If you don’t find the answer you’re looking for, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Heavenly’s Friendship Promise is a nonprofit organization created to honor and remember babies who have passed away while providing love, remembrance, and support to families experiencing pregnancy and infant loss.
Our mission is built around one simple promise: no matter how small, every baby deserves to be loved, remembered, and cherished.
Through memorial keepsakes, remembrance projects, community support, and other programs, we hope to remind grieving families that their babies matter and their stories deserve to be remembered.
Heavenly’s Friendship Promise is here for families who have experienced pregnancy or infant loss, including parents, siblings, grandparents, and other loved ones who are grieving.
Whether your loss happened recently or many years ago, your baby is still worthy of remembrance.
Heavenly’s Friendship Promise was created in memory of Heavenly LeRae Tallant, my daughter who was stillborn at 24 weeks.
After experiencing the loss of my own daughter, I wanted to create something that could help other families feel seen, remembered, and supported during one of the hardest experiences a parent can face.
What began from the love I have for Heavenly has grown into a promise to other families: their babies will never be forgotten.
Heavenly LeRae Tallant is our daughter who inspired Heavenly’s Friendship Promise.
She is forever loved and remembered by her family, including her mama, daddy, and big brother Arkadian.
Her memory is the heart behind everything we do.
