What year were you established?
2019

Where are you located?
Memphis, TN

What is your biggest goal this calendar year?
Continue to place CuddleCots in hospitals throughout the country. My sister now works for Flexmort, the company that produces CuddleCots, and she and I are on a mission to get them in every labor and delivery hospital in the US.

Do you remember the exact moment you knew you wanted to do something bigger in memory of Helen?
We began fundraising while we were in the hospital, because we knew there was a need for more CuddleCots. We received so much support and monetary donations that we knew this was going to be bigger than donating one more CuddleCot to that hospital.

If followers wanted to get to know the organization better, what are the best ways to learn more?
Follow us on Instagram at @helenjamesfoundation and visit our website at helenjamesfoundation.org

How do you keep your supporters up to date about your work? Do you have a newsletter?
We send two emails per yer with updates on fundraising efforts and events in addition to updates on social media.

“Our hospital room was filled with emotions – tears and sadness and heartbreak, but there were also moments of laughter and love. While the experience was beyond painful, it was also one filled with hope.” - Emily


Helen James Library

HJF has established the Helen James Library at St. Thomas Midtown Hospital in Nashville, TN where Helen was born and also at Sumner Regional Medical Center in Gallatin, TN. The libraries provide books for families to take home to help with their grief process, as well as explain the loss of their baby to older children. We are grateful to be a part of such a special and important endeavor.
