💗 2025 BLOOM T-Shirt Fundraiser

Honoring Our Babies.  Supporting One Another.

It has been an honor to remember and celebrate your baby at our monthly meetings.  Whether you’ve recently joined us or were part of our group in the past, when BLOOM was known as KC HOPE, we invite you to continue honoring your baby by having their name included on this year’s BLOOM t-shirt.

Each year, our shirts are created in conjunction with our Annual Walk to Remember, a private event for BLOOM support group members.  Families often purchase shirts for themselves and for loved ones to wear during the walk in October.  Even if you’re unable to attend the walk, you are still welcome to place a t-shirt order in memory of your baby.

🌼 Why Your Purchase Matters

BLOOM and all of our events are fully funded by Emilia’s Wings, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Kansas City.
T-shirt sales are our only fundraiser and help cover the cost of:

• Monthly meeting materials and crafts

• Our Walk to Remember

• The Mother’s Day Tea

• The Holiday Candlelight Ceremony
  and more—all offered at no cost to families.

💯 100% of proceeds go directly toward supporting grieving families in the Kansas City metro.

🏺 This Year’s Theme? Kintsugi

Kintsugi is a centuries-old Japanese art form that involves repairing broken pottery by joining the shattered pieces with lacquer and precious metals.  The cracks are highlighted with gold, making the repaired object more unique and valuable than the original.

The Japanese believe that when something has suffered damage and has a history, it becomes more beautiful.  It shows that “scars” are not something to be hidden with shame, but are to be displayed with pride.
