This past Saturday, the 11th Annual NFTS Gala brought together an extraordinary community united by one shared purpose: to honor angels, support families, and drive meaningful change for those navigating pregnancy and infant loss.

Special thanks to: ?? ?????? ?????????????? ????????????—our inspiring Feature Family—who courageously shared Betty Belle’s story and reminded us that "?????? ???? ?? ?????????? ???? ?????? ????????, ???????? ???? ?????? ?????????????? ??????????????."

At NFTS, we understand that the footprints we leave behind are more than just marks on the ground—they are symbols of sacrifice, resilience, and service. And we know too well that all loss is loss; no two are the same. Today, we pause to honor the veterans whose footsteps have paved the way for a stronger, safer community. Their courage and commitment continue to shape our world, and we stand with them, recognizing their invaluable impact on our lives. #VeteransDay

?? ????????????’?? ???? ???? ???????? ???? ?????????? ???????? ???? ???????????? ???? ?? ??????????’?? "??????"—?????????????????? ?????????? ?????? ???????? ???? ?????????? ????????? But grief doesn’t vanish with a jump scare, and we can’t hide it behind a mask. It lingers, takes its time, and shows up when we least expect it. ?? As Pregnancy + Infant Loss Awareness Month comes to a close, we want to share the significance of the white pumpkin you’ll see on our porches and in the arms of families remembering their angels tonight. ???????? ??????????????—???????? ????????—???????????????????? ?? ?????????? ???? ???? ?????????? ???????? ?????? ????????. ?? Often called “ghost pumpkins,” white pumpkins have become a gentle emblem in the loss community—a way for families to remember and unite. Displaying one on Halloween is a small but powerful reminder that healing doesn’t have a timeline, and you are never alone in this journey. Through the tricks and the treats of loss, No Foot Too Small is here. Even in the dark, our porch light is always on (and our bowls are full with only the good snacks!). #halloween #pregnancyandinfantlossawarenessmonth #whitepumpkin #thewhitepumpkin #pregnancyloss #infantloss #trickortreat #angelbabies #celebrateangels #unitefamilies #halloweentraditions #miscarriage #stillbirth #TFMR #SIDS #NoFootTooSmall #NFTS #losscommunity #grief #ghostpumpkins
