Established in May 2024, we are a motivated group of parents of pregnancy and infant loss babies. Our mission is to educate the medical community and public about pregnancy and infant loss, raise funds for research, and provide support to families who are missing their babies. We believe that through greater awareness and empowered pregnancies, many of these tragedies can be prevented. We strive to ultimately lower the number of stillbirths in the Memphis area and beyond. Our service area includes the Memphis, Jackson, Cordova, and Bartlett areas. If you are located near us and would like to learn more about our chapter, please contact us.
It is important to us that all families feel supported and welcome in this space. Please reach out to us so we can help meet your needs in the way you deserve.
Please note that these resources and project are chapter-specific. To view our extensive supports and resources provided by the foundation, scroll down to the bottom of this page.
This resource guide is a collection of local resources for families who tragically suffer the loss of a baby. This includes: local support groups, funeral home information and more. You are not alone.
Since stillborn babies tragically do not receive a Birth Certificate, many states offer a Certificate of Stillbirth or a Certificate of Birth Resulting in Stillbirth (this includes Memphis). Learn more about how to obtain a certificate for your baby/babies by clicking the link above.
Memphis has a few important pieces of legislation including a stillbirth tax credit and paid family leave to include stillbirth. If you would like to learn more about how to help pass these bills, please complete our volunteer form.

Our Stillbirth Scorecards take the CDC stillbirth data and organizes it into a one page document you can share to raise awareness about the stillbirth crisis.
It would be an honor if we remembered your beloved baby alongside you. Honor your babies with you by adding them as a star or creating a memorial page in their memory.
