First Candle promotes safe pregnancies and the survival of babies through the first years of life. With programs of research, education, advoacy and family services, we are working to ensure that every baby is given the best possible chance to reach not only his or her first birthday, but many happy birthdays beyond. Until we reach that goal, we will continue to provide compassionate grief support to all those affected by the death of a baby.
