Jax Brings Comfort

Footprints on my Heart is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides services to parents and their families who have suffered a miscarriage, stillbirth, neonatal, or infant loss.

Hammon has worked hard to cultivate an environment that provides tools and comfort to those families in need. Through this, she has made deep connections and had an unforgettable impact on many lives.

Recently, Footprints on my Heart was donated a golden retriever puppy from one of the “lost families” helped by this organization.

Jax, named after the inspiration behind this organization, Jaxon, was donated in memory of baby Carson-Riley and baby Rayne and will be fully trained as a therapy dog.

“Having Jax around will bring people comfort during difficult times,” Hammon said. “Plus, who doesn’t want to love on a puppy?”

Once trained, he will be able to attend events for the organization and allowed access to hospitals to assist lost families on another level. Jax will allow the group more opportunities to spread awareness of pregnancy and infant loss.

“We’ve been able to be there in the hospitals to help these families,” Hammon said. “It’s a healing process. When you speak up about what you’re going through, it helps to make you feel not so alone. It helps me heal every time I share my story.”

Although suffering an indescribable loss, Hammon and her husband have been able to share a light with families during dark times of their own by the founding of Footprints on my Heart.

“We’re taking our tragedy and trying to turn it around so others know they are not alone,” Hammon said. “It keeps my son’s legacy alive. This loss wasn’t for nothing.”
