MELBOURNE MISCARRIAGE MINISTRY

AN OUTREACH OF TECUM MELBOURNE

About

We believe that no woman should walk through the devastating experience of miscarriage alone. Our miscarriage ministry exists to offer compassionate, practical support to women and families in Melbourne who are or have experienced pregnancy loss.

We provide comprehensive miscarriage kits—that include medical supplies, educational materials, and comfort items for mom. For those navigating postpartum after loss, we offer custom kits with memorial mass information, self-care items, and resources for grieving.

We understand that grief looks different for everyone and we want to meet you where you are: If you want to talk, we're here—by phone, text, or in person. If you need space, we'll quietly leave a kit on your porch.

This ministry is an outreach of TECUM Melbourne, made possible by generous donors. All kits are provided at no cost to families.

For more information or to request a kit, text Katie M at (321) 446-3475.
