View ArtistThis heart is dedicated to those who have experienced pregnancy loss. The current statistic is that 1 in 4 women have experienced at least one pregnancy or infant loss in their adulthood. Using that rationale the artist went to work. According to the U.S. Census of 2020, the Kansas City metropolitan area population was 2,199,544. Approximately 836,000 of those (39% of that population) were women over the age of 18. Based on the previously stated statistic, approximately 209,000 women in the Kansas City metro area have experienced at least one pregnancy or infant loss. 209,000 hearts shattered. But there is healing. There is hope.
