“Living with the loss of a child is a never-ending journey. Finding help shouldn’t be a burden, too," said Rob Reider, cofounder and executive director of the Sad Dads Club, which supports dads who have endured death of a baby during pregnancy, labor or within the first few weeks after birth. The group also welcomes fathers who have lost children to sudden infant death syndrome and those who have lost older and even adult children.

After Brad Bailey buried his stillborn son, his wife encouraged him to join Sad Dads Club, a nonprofit with peer-to-peer community and support for bereaved fathers.

A month of good deeds in the community: In January, the NCS Fort Myers team, clockwise from top left, celebrated by bringing puzzles galore to American House Fort Myers for the activities director to provide residents; our FedEx driver came in upset after his cooler fell out of his truck, so we got him a new cooler and filled it with Gatorade, water, ice, and snacks; we celebrated by delivering a popcorn basket to Ambassador Healthcare At College Park in late afternoon to make sure the night shift got some; and visited Fort Myers Police Department and Cape Coral Police Department to deliver bags of snacks, water bottles, stress balls, pand other goodies, each bag decorated with a "We Appreciate You" shield.
