💙 An Update on Donations & Your Continued Trust 💙
Dear friends of Heaven Instead,
We want to thank you — deeply — for your patience and understanding over the past few weeks. Recently, we made the difficult decision to pause all recurring donations due to delays in receiving funds from our nonprofit tech provider. That decision came from a place of responsibility: we are committed to protecting your trust and ensuring your gifts are used exactly as you intended — to support families through loss after stillbirth.
After ongoing communication with our provider, we’ve now learned that the delays were caused by limits on how much funding could be transferred daily from their system. They are currently working to resolve this issue so that nonprofits like ours can receive funds in a more timely and reliable manner.
We want to reassure you:
✅ Your donations are safe. They were never lost, only delayed.
✅ We acted swiftly to protect our community the moment we noticed an issue.
✅ We’re working closely with our provider to make sure this never happens again.
This experience has reminded us how vital transparency and trust are in our mission. We are here because of you — and for the families who count on us.
We’ll keep you updated as we move toward resuming donations safely and confidently. In the meantime, if you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out directly.
With gratitude and hope,
The Heaven Instead Team
