Evie G’s Sunshine Factory
Flowers and Community Enrichment
On February 24, 2024, we said goodbye to Evelyn Grace, our sweet daughter, following her stillbirth. Her Sunshine Factory is a place filled with flowers and an outpouring of love for others.
We aim to bring sunshine into the lives of those currently in darkness. We understand the pain that loss can bring, and our goal is to provide a glimmer of hope during hard times.

Our Inspiration
We learned that Mack was pregnant with Evie on August 9, 2023. In her 32 weeks of gestation, she brought so much joy through her constant kicks and dancing and her love for strawberries - we couldn't get enough of them! While in the womb, she played in the waves of both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, a road trip through Glacier National Park, flights in helicopters and planes with both of her parents, and endless joyful story times and laughs with family and friends. We like to think she has a wonderful laugh and killer dance moves, and we feel her presence in the sun. She is all always will be Evie G, our beautiful sunshine girl.

Ways We Help
The Focus of Our Efforts
Hospital Blanket Initiative
We create comfort blankets for families that are given as they receive molds of their baby's hands and feet following stillbirth, as well as quilts to cover NICU babies' isolettes so they are able to sleep with bright hospital lights on, also giving parents something to bring home from their child's time in the NICU.
