About Our Foundation

Born from a mother's love, built on a promise that no family should grieve alone.

Our Mission

Raising Awareness. Breaking the Silence.

The Noel Alexandria Foundation exists to raise awareness and break the silence on Pregnancy and Infant Loss. We provide free educational, emotional, and financial resources to families affected by this often-invisible grief.

Operating in Kern County, California and expanding internationally, we serve families through comfort kits, support groups, annual awareness events, scholarships, financial assistance with burial costs, and comprehensive community behavioral health services.

As a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN: 83-1927303), every dollar donated goes directly toward supporting families in their time of greatest need.
