Doctor turns grief into helping underprivileged new moms
KANSAS CITY, Missouri (KMBC) — A Kansas City doctor has created a nonprofit to help underprivileged moms have the necessities to take care of a newborn baby.
“As physicians, we try and fix the problem and I’ve found that grief is not fixable. It’s something you need to walk with your patients,” said Dr. Jessica Richter.
Richter was expecting a baby boy.
“Two days before I was supposed to have my son in October, I stopped feeling him move so we went to the hospital and there was no heartbeat,” she said.
