About Early Pregnancy Loss Association (EPLA)

After experiencing two miscarriages in 2014, EPLA co-founder, Emily Carrington, became aware of the hushed culture surrounding early pregnancy loss. As she grieved the loss of her children she noticed that this feeling of isolation was only increased as there was a lack of resources available for women and families grieving early pregnancy loss. While paying miscarriage-related medical bills in January of 2015, Emily started to work on a simple idea: “what if we could make just one of these bills go away for other women.” After a year and a half of talking to women, families, pastors, medical professionals, and care providers the need for a community of people, educational resources, and financial support became clear. People came together with a heart to care for women and families following early pregnancy loss and the simple idea evolved into the Early Pregnancy Loss Association (EPLA). It is the mission of the Early Pregnancy Loss Association to help bear the burden of grief for women and families who have experienced the isolating heartache of early pregnancy loss by encouraging community, contributing to public discourse, and providing educational and financial resources for professionals and families.
