HOPE Mentor & Facilitator - Merced, California

Kim Lotz is a certified facilitator for the Merced, California chapter of The MISS Foundation. On January 11th, 1996 her first child Tyler was stillborn 3 days after his due date because of complications with his umbilical cord. Tyler's loss devastated her family. They have found that the only cure for their pain is to reach out and embrace others enduring the same tragedy.

Kim’s chapter of MISS focuses largely on the Kindness Project. She believes this is an excellent way to allow healing for herself and others by doing random acts of kindness in memory of their children.

Kim has done several articles with newspapers and television stations in Central California about the Kindness Project, National Children’s Memorial Day, and her support group for parents who have suffered the death of their baby. She has a passion for educating communities on the great sorrow that follows the death of a child.

Kim finds comfort in believing that Tyler lives on through the work she does with MISS and through the families that she allows his memory to touch.
