How WE Can Help

When a couple is expecting a baby, the last thing most of them are financially prepared for is the funeral and cemetery expenses. That's why we want to help. One day I visited the baby section at the cemetery and I was heart broken to see that some babies who died in the 1970's, 1980's and 1990's only have a temporary marker at their grave. That was the moment I decided to start this charity. It is heart breaking enough to lose your precious baby; it's just as bad to not have the money to get a permanent grave marker for your baby. Our Foundation will work with the families who apply for assistance with the cost of the funeral, burial or cremation, cemetery costs and grave marker costs.

These families are suffering a major loss in their lives. We understand how crucial it is to have access to the support needed to grieve the loss of an infant. We also understand from our experience how helpful therapy was with our grieving process. Our Foundation will also help pay for up to seven therapy sessions for families who apply.

We are experiencing low funds at this time, but please fill out the Financial Assistance Form to join our waiting list. Upon submitting your Financial Assistance Form, you will be contacted within 7-10 days.
Please note: Financial Assistance can only be given for outstanding balances for funeral, burial or cremation, cemetery costs, and grave marker costs.




Words of encouragement...

I lost my son on february 23rd 2007 @ 38 weeks from an umbilical accident~we were just 4 days away from having our c-section for delivery. I just want to say how wonderful it is that there is a service like this! i was fortunate in that we only had to pay 35 dollars for our burial plot and the funeral services were free. Our cemetary has an angel section and refuses to charge parents outrageous prices to bury their children. I know that many families need help~Thank God for you!!I really don't have any questions It's just wonderful that you have found such a beautiful way to honor yor son!

I came across your email while looking for a marker for my daughter Tea Brynn Keifer born on 3/2/07 and died a little over an hour later. I did not contact you for assistance because I feel my future husband and I will be able to take care of a marker on our own but I wanted to tell you how wonderful your foundation is. As you know loosing a child is a very difficult thing to go through and I want to thank you for starting this foundation and helping others find some comfort during such a devastating time in thier lives. Thank You!
