Three moms came together in fellowship to support one another through their loss. In sharing their babies’ stories, they realized that there was an obvious need for a special kind of bereavement care, one starting from the moment a woman finds out that she has lost her baby. With this, the dream of Mothers of Held Angels came to light. MOHA is a place for women to share experience-based advice, provide supportive resources, and to give a “face” to the other side of the darkness by showing other loss moms that “you are not alone here”.

Mothers of Held Angels is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Christian fundamentals and faith guide our vision. Compassion, empathy and understanding are at the core of our values.

MOHA provides comfort boxes to grieving families in the hospital including “Day of Loss Resources” explaining what to expect in those initial days and ways to make memories with their babies. It is our hope to provide a cooling blanket bereavement device to as many hospitals as possible, which will extend the amount of time, often days, a family has with their baby to make memories.

The death of a baby, and the trauma surrounding this unique type of loss, is an unimaginable and indescribable type of pain. MOHA raises public awareness of stillbirth and neonatal loss through our MOHA Mom’s Network, The MOHA Podcast Channel and partnerships with other community organizations.

This ministry is only made possible through donations and volunteer support. The funds raised and proceeds from the online MOHA store go directly back into our mission.
