We are excited to share that Oliver’s Offerings has partnered with the Pregnancy and Infant Loss Support Center (PILSC), a Canadian charity dedicated to supporting individuals affected by miscarriage, stillbirth, neonatal loss, SIDS, and other forms of infant loss.
Their expertise, guidance and support will allow us to enhance the retreat experience for our participants.
In the early hours of February 23, 2021, our lives changed forever. Jennifer, the founder of Oliver’s Offerings, was called to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit by her partner, Ryan, after something seemed wrong with their newborn son, Oliver, who had been born just hours earlier along with his identical twin brother Wesley. Without warning, Jennifer was wheeled into a room where Oliver was receiving CPR. Despite every effort, it was not successful.
To honor Oliver’s brief but impactful time on earth, Oliver’s Offerings was created as a healing retreat for parents who have experienced the unimaginable loss of a child. This free weekend retreat, made possible by the generosity of the community, offers grieving parents a safe space to rest, connect, and find solace with others who understand this life-altering journey.
We are thrilled to announce our inaugural retreat this coming spring at the beautiful August House in Windsor, Nova Scotia. This retreat offers a unique opportunity for grieving parents to come together in a serene and supportive environment, sharing in healing and hope. We invite you to join us on this journey of connection and renewal. Click below to learn more about this transformative experience.
At Oliver’s Offerings, we believe that no family should face financial barriers to attend our retreat. That’s why we provide this healing experience at no cost to participants. Your generous support helps us continue offering this invaluable space for grieving parents. Whether through a direct donation, sponsoring part of the retreat, or contributing auction items, there are many ways you can make a difference. Click below to learn how you can help.
Our sponsors make it possible for us to host this retreat annually. Without their generous support, we wouldn’t be able to offer this space of healing and connection to grieving parents. By supporting our sponsors, you’re not only helping us continue this vital work but also strengthening the community around us. We encourage you to learn more about our incredible sponsors and the ways you can support them in return.
