Clemson Confectioneries, Lindough Bakery, and The Drip family… I have an important question for you 🧁🍰

As many of you know, Chris and I lost our son, Stone, who was stillborn in 2023. After his passing, owning a business became incredibly difficult. In honor of Stone, I started The Stone Carter Foundation, a nonprofit that supports families after the loss of a baby or child.

Right now our ministry is in need of funds so we can continue helping families, and I had an idea I wanted to run by you all.

I’m thinking about creating a mini cookbook filled with some of your favorite recipes from the Lindough and Clemson Confectioneries days. A portion of the proceeds from the “Bake-Book” would go directly toward helping families through The Stone Carter Foundation.

Would this be something you would be interested in purchasing? And if so, what recipes would you love to see included?

(P.S. On Friday, December 5th, my little cupcake protégé Baker Carter entered the world as beautiful and sweet as ever. Chris and I are still and will forever be overjoyed🤍)

Hey Lindough Family! 🩵

It’s been a while, but I have the sweetest news to share. Many of you may have noticed I’ve been MIA for longer than expected…and that’s because I’ve been growing the greatest gift of all…our miracle daughter, Baker Carter.

One day, I hope to take the baking world by storm with her by my side. But for now, the “Baker” I’ve been focused on is my favorite yet.

I also wanted to share that we are still raising money for The Stone Carter Foundation, in honor of Baker’s wonderful brother, Stone. Right now, we’re hosting a $1,250 Disney Raffle, with the majority of proceeds going toward our Christmas Blessing Boxes (special gifts for families who are missing a baby, toddler, or child this holiday season.)

💫 Raffle Details:
• Closes: Friday, September 20th at 8 PM

• Grand Prize: $1,000 Disney World Gift Card + $250 Stoney Clover Lane Gift Card

Thank you, as always, for supporting me in every season of life. I can’t wait for the day I return to the kitchen with the cutest little Baker by my side. 🩵

To all the brave and beautiful loss parents,

If you or someone you love has experienced the unimaginable heartbreak of losing a child (at any age, including early miscarriage), we would be so honored to help you remember and celebrate them in a meaningful way.

At this year’s Stone Carter Foundation Brunch Ball on August 31st, we’ll be holding a very special Tree Gifting Ceremony.

This ceremony is generously sponsored by Owlet, the amazing team behind the infant sleep sock, who shares our passion for supporting families through their parenting journeys…no matter how brief or long those journeys may be.

If you would like to honor a child you love with a tree, please reach out to us as soon as you can by emailing [email protected].

We know how hard it can be to find ways to celebrate your baby’s life after loss, and sometimes, it just feels impossible. But you’re not alone. We want to walk beside you, honor your grief, and help you create a beautiful way to remember and love them out loud.

We can’t wait to gather with you for a day filled with love, remembrance, and even a little bit of joy.

🤍

Have you or someone you love experienced a miscarriage, or lost a baby, toddler, or child?
👼🏼🩵

On August 30, 2023, my husband Chris and I experienced the heartbreaking loss of our son, Stone Henry Carter. Though his time with us was short, his life and legacy are immeasurable. In his honor, we created The Stone Carter Foundation to support families facing the unimaginable loss of a baby, toddler, or young child.

On August 31, 2025, we invite you to join us for our first annual Stone Carter Foundation Brunch Ball.
It will be a beautiful day filled with love, remembrance, and community.

Here’s what to expect:

• A heartfelt Tree Ceremony hosted by Owlet, where each participating loss parent will receive a free memorial tree to honor their child. (To join, please email Brandi at [email protected] by June 1.)

• An incredible silent auction with prizes like a cruise for two, fine dining experiences, and more!

• Touching moments of remembrance through our Friends in Heavenn Bracelet Stations, Paint Stations, and other ways to honor our children.

Tickets are FREE for loss parents and siblings.

Three families. One week.
And right now, we don’t have the resources to help The Gaston Family, and it’s breaking my heart.

In the past two months, The Stone Carter Foundation has been contacted by more families and representatives than ever before. Families who are grieving the unimaginable loss of their precious children. Families who are now part of a club no one ever wants to belong to. My heart is shattered for each one of them.

Just recently, a beautiful soul named Kimberly connected me about the Gaston Family who lost their daughter to accidental suffocation. They live in the HOA Path area, and their grief is raw and unimaginable. I promised Kimberly I would do everything in my power to help this family; including organizing a proceeds event in Anderson to support them.

But I can’t do this alone…

The Stone Carter Foundation was created so no grieving family would have to walk this road unsupported, but we’re at a point where we urgently need your help. We need more funds. We need more volunteers. We need more shares and voices to share these families stories.

If you feel called to help, here are a few meaningful ways you can:
• Donate directly to the family’s GoFundMe.
• Partner with me to host a proceeds night or event.
• Purchase a ticket to our upcoming Gala.
• Join us at Applebee’s tonight for dinner tonight…every dollar makes a difference.

Every effort, no matter how small, helps us say yes when another family reaches out in need. I always knew there would come a time when we might not be able to help everyone right away, and facing that reality is more devastating than I imagined. But I believe, with your help, we can change that!!

If you can give (even $5) please do. If you can’t give, please share. Help us reach the people who can. Together, we can lift these families in love and light when they need it most.

With all my heart,
Stone’s Mom

You can make an AMAZING impact tomorrow just by dining at Applebee’s in Seneca and mentioning The Stone Carter Foundation 👼🏼🍔🍷🤍🍰

On August 30, 2023, my husband Chris and I lost our son, Stone Henry Carter. Since then, we’ve clung to the promise that God would bring purpose from our pain. We started The Stone Carter Foundation to support grieving families, and this month has been especially heartbreaking. We’ve walked alongside several families recently who’ve had to say goodbye to their precious children far too soon. The need is growing, and we can’t do this alone.

The Stone Carter Foundation provides financial, emotional, and practical assistance to families facing the unimaginable loss of a child.

Tomorrow, (April 15th) we’re hosting a fundraiser at Applebee’s. Just mention The Stone Carter Foundation when you dine in or order curbside, and 25% of your bill will be donated to help us continue helping families in need.

Chris and I will be there starting at 6PM, and for everyone who joins us, we’ll have desserts as a thank-you for supporting the cause. The fundraiser runs all day, and you can find the flyer in the comments to show your server or include it with your curbside order.

Our community has always shown up for us, and we’re humbly asking if you could show up again:
For the families. For their babies. For the love that lives on!
