On October 15^th, International Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day, Healing Grace Center for hope and Healing spent an evening sharing the story of Grace, honoring the families of loss in the North Country and remembering the sweet infant son of William and Alice Miner. Miner Institute and The Alice T. Miner Museum hosted a fundraiser for Healing Grace Center for Hope & Healing. During the event founder and executive director for Healing Grace Sarah Munn-Wojtaszek shared her organization’s mission and vision for the grief center. Ellen Adams, director of the museum, spoke and shared the story of William Miner, Jr., the son of William and Alice Miner, who died in 1902 at just two weeks old. 

Healing Grace’s mission is to provide support, guidance, love, and community to families that have suffered the death of an infant at any stage of pregnancy and within the first year of life. Healing Grace helps families to cultivate hope and provides support for the healing journey after loss with services such as professional and peer support, birth planning, funeral planning support, comfort boxes and other products to support maternal grief. 

This fundraising event raised over $1,500 for Healing Grace, an organization that would have meant so much to the Miners and works tirelessly to cultivate hope in the face of such tragic loss. This mission and collaboration bring together 3 organizations that are dedicated to improving life and building community in the North Country. Rachel Dutil, public relations director for the Miner Institute said of the event, “It is so meaningful to partner with Healing Grace, not only because their mission and work is so compelling, but because William and Alice Miner themselves could have greatly benefited from an organization like Healing Grace and would undoubtedly be pleased to support it.”
