Support Sage-A-Life Foundation: Aid for Grieving Families

Donation protected
The Unimaginable Loss of Our Son, Sage

Our hearts are shattered. On March 18, 2025, our beloved eight-month-old son, Sage, left us. The pain of losing him is indescribable, a wound that will never heal. Sage was a bright light in our lives, full of joy and curiosity, and his sudden absence has left an immense void.
Sage faced a number of health complications leading up to his passing, and the full extent of what transpired remains a mystery as we anxiously await the results of his autopsy. This period of uncertainty, coupled with the profound grief, has illuminated a stark reality: when a baby passes away, families are not only crushed by emotional devastation but often face immediate and overwhelming financial burdens.

Turning Our Grief into Purpose: Sage-A-Life Foundation

In the midst of our sorrow, we are determined to honor Sage's memory by transforming our pain into a force for good. We are establishing Sage-A-Life Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing immediate financial assistance and compassionate support to other families who endure the heartbreaking loss of a baby or young child.

Our Mission:

* Immediate Financial Aid: To quickly provide funds for funeral costs, medical bills, counseling, and other critical expenses, alleviating the immense financial stress on grieving parents.

* Awareness & Advocacy: To spread awareness about infant mortality, the importance of thorough investigations (like autopsies), and to advocate for improved healthcare practices to prevent future tragedies. We will share Sage's story and the stories of others to highlight areas needing attention.

* Community & Support: To create a supportive network and connect families with vital resources like grief counseling and support groups, ensuring no one walks this painful path alone.

Why Your Support Matters:

Losing a child is something no parent should ever have to experience, let alone face alone with mounting financial worries. Your donation to Sage-A-Life Foundation will directly impact families in their most vulnerable moments. It will provide a lifeline, allowing them to focus on healing rather than financial strain.

Where Your Donation Will Go:

Your generous contributions will be used for:

* Direct Financial Aid: The majority of funds will go directly to families in need.
* Foundation Setup: Covering legal fees to establish Sage-A-Life Foundation as a registered non-profit (501(c)(3)), ensuring transparency and allowing for tax-deductible donations.
* Operational Costs: Developing a website for applications and resources, and essential administrative expenses.
* Awareness Campaigns: Creating materials and initiatives to educate the public and advocate for change.

Join Us in Honoring Sage's Memory:

Sage's life, though tragically short, will leave a lasting impact through this foundation. By supporting Sage-A-Life Foundation, you are helping us turn our deepest grief into a beacon of hope and assistance for others. You are helping us ensure that other families receive the resources and support they desperately need in their darkest hour.

Please consider donating and sharing our campaign. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us closer to our goal and helps us build Sage's lasting legacy of compassion and support.

With heartfelt gratitude,
