A few days ago we posted on Facebook about giving away a few sets of business cards to the first five people who commented (emails coming soon, we promise!). However since there were just SO many good ideas and great ways to spread the word about SS Magazine, we have had an anonymous donor come forward, wanting to sponsor a few more sets.
If you are interested in helping us spread the word, please leave some information in a comment:
- How you would use the cards
- Your email address
Also, if you are interested in sponsoring a few sets of business cards, let us know! Each set is about $16 (including shipping to the US).
*a few people will be randomly selected in a week or so

About Franchesca
I think I originally said that I would give them out to my local hospitals/Dr offices here in Texarkana. I would still do that but I would also include them with my Bailey’s Bonnets donations as well. Aaaaand, I just read a message that I may be able to start selling some items to raise money for Rest In Hope’s marker donation program in a hair salon in Spring TX!! WOO HOO, so I would include them with that also.
I would give out the cards to the members is my support group to other grieving baby loss moms.
My email is jonilee73@yahoo.com
Love the idea to pay it forward!
I would bring them to my support groups and to my hospital that I delivered Trinity. I would also bring some to give out at the OC walk to remember. .
There are so many things I would do with the cards to help spread the word!! I would have them displayed at our local hospice office for the moms and dads who come into the support group meetings there. The cards would be a wonderful addition to the comfort baskets I put together to give parents who are new to this journey. I would also leave cards in a display at the funeral home that handled my daughters’ cremation. Because they know how painful this loss is they do not charge for their services in the case of lost babies. As an independent 31 Gifts consultant I could also include them in my packet of resource information to help empower women and support them in all aspects of life – these packets are included in every order of my products. I could keep going but I think you get the picture…..I would share them with EVERYONE!!
Thanks so much!!

You’ve gotta LOVE an anonymous donor!!! A friend of mine (IRL who lost her baby last fall) and I are going to put some things together for the hospital we both delivered at. These would be perfect!!
Oh, while I’m here…I need to get in touch with you about ad space, both here and on sbd. I let it slip through the cracks!!! Talk to you soon! xo
Firstly, I’d ask the hospital where I delivered my daughter to include a card in the packet they give out to bereaved parents.
I’d also keep a small supply for myself which I would share with everyone I meet who asks me if I have any children; I would explain that I AM Still Standing, and that there’s no reason for the topic of my daughter’s life and death to cause discomfort; that it is important to me to acknowledge her.
I’d love to include some in our memory box donations!
I wouldn’t need a ton but I often make contact with local moms when one of their babies die. It unfortunately happens far more often than I wish.
Our own baby, Sullivan, died as the result of an umbilical cord accident when I was 9 months pregnant. It’s a horrible thing to experience, as we all know. I typically give grieving moms a copy of the book “50 Days in Heaven” by Randy Alcorn as it is what realllly helped me.
Sometimes i include literature on grief, resources on support group meetings, etc. If you want/are able to send me a few cards I will include them in what I give out (10 or 12 cards would last me a good year). I’m glad there is a community for us…that we moms are not being forgotten just because our babies don’t live at home.

I would love to share them with the support group I go to and at the local hospitals in my area. This magazine is amazing and such a great resource for those that have lost a child to feel support and someone they can relate to.
Oh goodness – there are so many ways I could use these! I would hand them out to the local funeral homes and hospitals and also include them in the cards I send out to newly bereaved Mama’s.
