Our Mission
Our mission is to provide families with financial support and "love" packages to help ease the burden as they walk the darkest days mourning a beloved child.
About our foundation
Why we help
Love Clara is driven by our sweet baby girl's spirit, yet also by the spirit of community that has so lovingly and thoughtfully helped us along. When a family experiences their darkest hour, Love Clara seeks to offer not only financial support to offset some of the funeral and burial costs, but also emotional support through "love" baskets from a family who understands and empathizes with their depths of pain and loss.
Our Story
In September 2016, our lives were shattered when our youngest daughter, Clara, at just fourteen months of age tragically and without any warning suffered multiple strokes that led a few days later to her passing. The deepest and darkest days and months followed, marked with unimaginable heartache, sleepless nights, and meaningless days. While each day continues to present its difficulties, Marc and I are resolute in "paying it forward," helping ease the heartache of others who are walking similar paths. We have been inspired by the people who have helped pick us up and urged us to put on yet another brave face to conquer, or simply get through, the day.
Upcoming Events
Our Love CLara Kick Off July 9th at 3pm
Our kick off event will be a luau in honor of Clara’s first birthday, sadly the only birthday she ever had. For years to come will we celebrate her spirit and her memory through this event. Now, we realize her purpose is to be able to reach out to other families that may not have the same amazing support that we have had through this horrific tragedy.
On July 9, 2017 at Auletto’s Catering in Deptford NJ, we are inviting family, friends, and community members to come together for a day of fun, hope, and inspiration; but most importantly to accomplish our goal of raising funds to support other families that are faced with the tragedy of losing a child.
