About Us

Love, Jessica is a 501(c)3 Non-Profit Organization designed to financially assist families with medical and funeral expenses after a miscarriage or stillbirth. Our mission is to ease the financial burden as well as help start the healing process.

When a family experiences a miscarriage or stillbirth, there is not much anyone can say to ease their heartbreak. When the medical and funeral bills start arriving a few weeks later, it is a cold reminder of their reality. While we cannot ease their heartache, we can alleviate the financial stress that follows. Our goal is to raise money through fundraising and sponsorship to help pay for those bills.

Love, Jessica was founded by Jennifer Jara, in honor of her first daughter, Jessica Lupita Jara, who was stillborn at 27 weeks gestation on July 1st 2014. The Organization launched on 7/1/2020, on baby Jessica's 6th Heavenly birthday!

What is the difference between miscarriage & stillbirth

Both miscarriage and stillbirth describe pregnancy loss, but they differ according to when the loss occurs. A miscarriage is the loss of a baby before the 20th week of pregnancy, occurring in 10-20% of all known pregnancies. A stillbirth is the loss of a baby after 20 weeks of pregnancy, with a majority occurring at or near full term, right before or during delivery. More than 24,000 babies are stillborn in the United States each year, affecting about 1 in 160 births. They cut across all socio-economic classes, races, religions, body types and age groups. No woman or family is immune.

Grief Quote

I had my own notion of grief.

I thought it was the sad time

that followed the death of

someone you love

and you have to push through it

to get to the other side.

I am learning that

there is no other side.

There is no pushing

through anything,

but rather, an absorption.

Adjustment and acceptance.

Grief is not something you complete,

but rather endure.

Grief is not a task to finish

and move on,

but an element of yourself,

an alteration of your being.

A new way of seeing, and

a new definition of self.
