Ashley & Eric O'Hara - Our story
How did we get here?
February 5th 2025 we received the news that no expecting parents want to hear. We had lost our 3rd baby at 17 weeks' gestation. We delivered our sleeping baby girl Ronan John O'Hara on February 9th. Help from local nonprofits like Footprints on the Heart made coping easier. Now we want to give back & pay it forward.
Proceeds go to
WNY Programs benefitting families of child loss, infertility & perinatal bereavement. In 2025 we raised enough funds to donate over $3500 to 2 local nonprofits. We hope to raise more this year to continue helping families in WNY. Our 2026 benefitting charities are listed below.
WNY Perinatal Bereavement Network
Our mission is to assist the community in meeting the needs of people facing perinatal death, the death of a baby due to miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, stillbirth or early infant death. WNYPBN – Perinatal Bereavement
