Miles' Mission

What Miles' Mission does

Miles' Mission is a faith-based non-profit organization headquartered in Zanesville, Ohio, that provides awareness, resources, and support services for families experiencing pregnancy and infant loss across Central Ohio. Founded by the Moore-Bullock family following the stillbirth of Miles Owen Moore on October 11, 2021, the organization serves mothers, fathers, grandparents, siblings, and extended family members through a referral-based support model that connects bereaved families with healthcare providers, mental health counselors, and faith-based communities. Its service portfolio centers on a P.A.I.L. (Pregnancy and Infant Loss) resource directory linking families to 25+ partner organizations (including Brooks' Bereavement Bears, Liam's Hope Boxes, Rachel's Gift, Sufficient Grace Ministries, EPLA, Heaven's Gain Ministries, and Dignity Care Network), a Cuddle Cot placement program at regional hospitals, counseling referrals, and curated grief literature including two books authored by President Dr. Michael Bullock ('Even Now I Know: A Journey From Grief to Gratitude' and 'Waves of Grief: A Look into the Life of a Grieving Grandparent').

The organization's underlying infrastructure is community- and event-driven rather than technology-driven, operating through a static website, Constant Contact email newsletter, social media channels, and physical community gatherings. Distribution is regional across Ohio through hospital partnerships with OhioHealth, Genesis Healthcare, Licking Memorial Health Systems, Aultman Hospital, Nationwide Children's Hospital, Mount Carmel Health, and MVHC, as well as through faith-based channels anchored by Hands of Faith Church in Zanesville. The 2.3-acre Memorial Park on Military Road in Zanesville, developed in partnership with Muskingum Valley Park District starting April 2025, provides a physical pilgrimage destination featuring an Angel of Hope Statue, commemorative bricks, pavilions, a siblings area, and a wind phone.

The business model is donation- and event-funded: revenue derives from individual contributions, annual fundraising galas (Night of Impact, Night of Hope, Night of Champions), golf outings, remembrance walks, Amazon book sales, memorial brick purchases for the park, and grants/sponsorships from community foundations and financial institutions (Cora Rogge Foundation, Kemba Financial Credit Union, Park National Bank, Muskingum County Community Foundation, J.W. & M.H. Straker Charitable Foundation). The organization has achieved notable regulatory milestones, including Ohio House Bill 4 designating September 19th as Ohio Stillbirth Prevention Day (signed May 2025) and the Central Ohio Hospital Council's adoption of Community Standards on Perinatal Loss Care (approved June 17, 2025), positioning it as both a service provider and a policy influencer in the perinatal bereavement space.
