Thanks for visiting our page! As parents to our sweet Josephine, we are committed to raising funds for Faith's Lodge, a retreat in Wisconsin that exists exclusively for families who have lost children. 

In 2014, we went in for our scheduled c-section to meet our baby girl, Josephine Jerine. While prepping me for surgery, we learned the truth: Josie had become tangled in her umbilical cord. She did not make it. We were devastated. 

We heard of a place called Faith's Lodge, where families could vacation for no or very low-cost. We were nervous but took the plunge and showed up for a Family Week that July. The peace and healing we felt there as a family is something we could never have imagined. Kate has been there for "moms' weekends" as well. 

Part of parenting Josie means committing to helping others who have gone through this heartbreak. To continue, Faith's Lodge needs funds, and we will continue to  help raise these funds. Please consider a donation, and please join our team! Thank you! 

Love, 

Matt, Kate, Ivy Mae, Josephine, and Magnus Spindler
