Empathetic Support to Newly Bereaved SIDS Families
and Those Who Care About Them
Our Mission is to support families (and helping professionals) grieving babies lost to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome through informational material like the book THE SIDS & INFANT DEATH SURVIVAL GUIDE and DANCING ON THE MOON and through free peer counseling and referral services. E-mail Joani Horchler, who lost her son Christian to SIDS in 1991 and authored the SIDS & Infant Death Survival Guide. We are a Cribs for Kids Partner, and--through the generous support of individual sponsors and Ronald McDonald House Charities and the Maryland Small Grants Program of the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation--will be giving out more than 250 cribs and crib sheets (with the safe sleep message on them) to the Prince George's Infants at Risk Program, the Adolescent Parenting Program of the Public Schools, etc.
Our spokesperson is actress Gabrielle Christian (one of Joani's five daughters!). Because of the tragic loss of her only brother to SIDS--and her desire to help others avoid such grief--Gabrielle is helping raise funds for bereavement support and medical research.
