Grace for Little Hearts didn’t start as a big plan.
It started with prayer - and with noticing just how tender the moments surrounding pregnancy and loss really are.
Through Abide and Grace, I’ve had the privilege of creating artwork for families during some of the most meaningful seasons of their lives - seasons filled with joy, grief, and everything in between. Every story is deeply personal.
Over time, I began to feel God leading me toward something more than simply creating the artwork itself.
Something rooted in faith.
Something that could give back.
Something that could help care for families walking through incredibly hard moments.
That calling eventually became Grace for Little Hearts - a ministry connected to Abide and Grace that grew out of that same place in my heart.
This ministry exists to honor the lives of little ones and to support families through simple, tangible acts of remembrance and love. Through Grace for Little Hearts, donated remembrance pieces - typically an 8×10 watercolor ultrasound or baby memorial print - may be created for families experiencing pregnancy or infant loss when resources allow.
It allows the artwork created through Abide and Grace to become more than a keepsake - a way to honor little lives, remember them well, and bring comfort when words fall short.
A portion of proceeds from Abide and Grace is set aside to support families navigating pregnancy and infant loss.
This work is also supported through the generosity of those who feel led to give. These gifts help cover the printing and shipping of remembrance pieces so families can receive a tangible keepsake in honor of their sweet babies.
Grace for Little Hearts is not a registered nonprofit at this time. It is simply a ministry connected to Abide and Grace - created to serve families with honesty, faith, and compassion - and one day it may grow into something more.
My prayer is that this work brings comfort and reminds families that their love, their babies, and their stories matter.
This verse has always felt especially fitting for this work:
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
before you were born I set you apart.”
- Jeremiah 1:5

Once a request is submitted, families will be guided through the next step, where they can choose a design and share the details for their keepsake.
With love and grace,
