Our Services
Emma’s Footprints provide several services for loss families, from financial support for funeral costs to emotional support through group meetings and one-on-one connections with our Emma’s Care Team, and so much more.
Financial Assistance
When a family experiences pregnancy or infant loss, the last thing they want to think about is a funeral or memorial services, let alone the cost of those services. At Emma’s, we provide financial assistance to families in their time of need, to help ease the financial strain this unthinkable loss can place on them. We help alleviate the financial burden of burial, cremation, headstones, and urns, ensuring that families can focus on healing without the added stress of financial strain.
Emma’s accepts inquiries for financial assistance from families in the Northwest Pennsylvania region. As we grow, we also can provide assistance to more areas on a more limited basis.
Support Groups
The Emma’s “You Are With Me” peer support group is held once a month in Erie, PA, Cranberry Twp. and virtually.
It is open to anyone who has experienced pregnancy or infant loss. The group provides a safe, healthy, and loving environment to help members take steps forward in the healing process. The group was developed by a licensed social worker, with a new theme to the conversation every month.
Care Package
Loss is hard and grief is messy.
Sometimes it’s difficult for friends and relatives to know what to say or do when a loved one experiences the loss of a child. A simple way to show you care and that you are ready to walk with a loss family through their grief is to send an Emma’s Care Package.
Each care package comes with a journal, a New Testament Bible, and a beautiful necklace with the baby’s first initial, all tied together in a beautiful white linen pouch.
Care Packages cost $50 and we will assemble the package, personalize the note and mail it for you.
The Care Team
Emma’s Footprints Care Team is comprised of moms who have experienced pregnancy or infant loss. Our Care Team provides one-on-one emotional support by connecting new loss moms with moms who are farther along in their grief journeys. By connecting moms who’ve experienced similar losses, our Care Team members provide understanding and support that can be difficult to find elsewhere. Often loss moms find the only people who truly understand how they feel are the ones who have lived through the same experience. Care Team moms have walked in those shoes and provide compassionate support and guidance.
Counseling & Grief Coaching
At Emma’s, we provide personalized grief counseling services for individuals and couples experiencing the heartache of loss. Our mission is to ensure that no one feels alone during such a deeply personal journey.
We understand—because we've experienced it ourselves—how overwhelming grief can be, and how essential it is to prioritize your mental health during these difficult times. With empathy, care, and professional guidance, we’re here to support you every step of the way.
We provide both financial assistance and referral services for professional counseling.
Podcasting
At Emma’s, we believe in the power of shared stories. Our podcast is a space where real people open up about their experiences with grief, healing, and everything in between.
Listening to others who have walked a similar path can offer comfort, insight, and the reminder that you’re not alone. Whether you’re seeking connection, understanding, or simply a voice that resonates, our podcast invites you to listen, reflect, and find community in the stories we share.
