About Stone Henry and The Stone Carter Foundation
The Stone Carter Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing financial assistance, resources, and emotional support to families who have experienced the devastating loss of a baby or young child. We understand the profound pain and heartbreak that comes with losing a child, and our mission is to ensure that no family has to face this difficult journey alone.
One of the key ways we offer support is through financial assistance. The unexpected costs of medical bills, funeral expenses, and everyday living costs can create an overwhelming burden for grieving families. Our goal is to relieve some of that stress, allowing families to focus on healing.
When we lost our beloved Stone, the financial weight of an unplanned funeral was immense. We were incredibly grateful for the love and support of our family, friends, and community, who stood by us and made sure we did not walk this path alone. Now, through The Stone Carter Foundation, we strive to offer that same comfort and support to others.
About
Stone
Henry
Stone passed away unexpectedly at 29 weeks, just as I was entering the eighth month of my pregnancy.
He had a love for tomatoes, Waffle House, and kicking his mom like crazy. He looked just like his dad and had a taste for all things spicy. With his curly blonde hair, blue eyes, and the sweetest button nose, he was growing 50% faster than babies his age. We even imagined he might have grown taller than his dad, with a predicted height of 6'7".
Stone is still so deeply loved and profoundly missed. Though I only carried our sweet boy for eight months, the impact he left on my heart will last a lifetime. He taught me the power of prayer, the virtue of patience, and what it truly means to be strong—as both a person and a mother.
He showed me the beauty of slowing down and embracing every moment, whether big or small. His legacy inspired me to strive to do better and be better. After he passed, my life took on new meaning. I became determined to live in a way that honors his memory, with a mission to make the name Stone Carter synonymous with kindness and love. My purpose now is simple: to make God and Stone proud.
