Jenny's story is heartbreaking: She quietly suffered with postpartum illness, and then suddenly took the life of her newborn son, Graham, before taking her own, too. It's painful beyond words to consider, and we are so moved by the strength, courage, and grace of Jenny and Graham's families and their decision to create a nonprofit foundation to raise awareness about perinatal mood disorders.We're hosting a charity sale from 12:30pm to 6pm on Saturday, August 23, at Blooma to help raise money for the foundation, and we'd love for you to be part of the light.
