My Nonprofit Reviews

Aaliyah in Action is filling a void in support for loss parents that is so needed. The tragic fact that the founder, Liz, lost her first daughter to stillbirth makes her uniquely aware of what would be comforting to us. This is truly a labor of love for her daughter and all our babies and it shows in every detail. As a donor, I was proud to know that a small donation would let a loss family know they are not alone and the community witnesses their grief and honors their child with them.

As the Co-Director of Awareness I feel honored to work tirelessly alongside fellow loss families to re-educate the public and the medical community on safe pregnancy protocols to help prevent stillbirths. Unfortunately the misinformation that allowed our son Owen to die in 2015 is still circulating today, so we aren’t taking our time dealing with this crisis. We are constantly pushing for change through bold awareness campaigns, regular discussions on multiple social media platforms with families and birth workers, developing Rainbow Clinics to provide compassionate and thorough care for loss parents, and so much more! I am thankful to have an outlet for my grief where I can direct all my anger at our broken system and channel it into pushing for change to help other families bring their babies home safely in memory of all our babies. Owen #stillcounts & so do the 23,000 or more babies a year that are stillborn. We won’t stop fighting to end this crisis and are grateful for all the support we have received from families, policy makers, and the medical community alike because this is an issue that affects the whole country and it will take all of us to solve it.
