Your gift is vital to the Little Man's Legacy mission, even a small donation can have a profound impact.
I lost my son when he was just 3 months and 9 days old. With limited family support, I faced the immense tasks of informing loved ones, financing his burial, and dealing with the grief of an inexplicable loss. After 23 years of searching for closure, I made the difficult decision to have my son exhumed and cremated and bring him home so that I could keep him close to me. Even now, I grapple with many unanswered questions and frequent inquiries about why my child died, my choice to have him exhumed, and my ongoing grief.
In my journey, I discovered a significant resource gap for families experiencing similar tragedies. Addressing this gap has become the mission of my foundation. Today, I passionately support families with similar losses by offering comfort through phone calls, connecting them with grief counseling, and assisting with funeral arrangements.
I also engage with funeral homes, cemeteries, law enforcement, and others to raise awareness of these families' needs by sharing my story and providing educational materials. Through my journey, I strive to inspire hope and promote healing for others
