Welcome to Bodie's Light
Bodie’s Light is a not-for-profit organization founded in 2021 by Scott and Jessica Gagnon in honor of their son, Bodie Trace. Bodie's Light was developed to raise funds, resources, and awareness for families who are impacted by the devastating loss of a child through stillbirth.
Bodie's Boxes: A Wonderful Idea & Special Gift Each box is specially curated with items to make the most of a terrible situation and a family's limited time with their baby.
When we were in the hospital with Bodie, we were not in the headspace to think of how to make memories. In hindsight, there were many things we wish we would have known about and done. Part of our mission is to provide these ideas and items to families, so they don't have to have these regrets.
