About Us

HJF Mission

HJF supports grieving families who have experienced a pregnancy or infant loss. We have focused on Cuddle Cot donations and have donated funds to the Saint Thomas Midtown Hospital to help with the construction of a new Family Bereavement Room. We plan to continue raising funds for Cuddle Cots and also to support families through donations for grief counseling and support groups.

We recently added infertility to the foundation’s mission in January of 2021. Our hearts have been heavy as we have walked beside our friends who have experienced this. Our hope is that we can help raise awareness and support and be advocates for those experiencing the difficult journey of infertility. 

INFANT GRIEF RESOURCE LIBRARY

The Helen James LIBRARY

HJF has established the Helen James Library at St. Thomas Midtown Hospital in Nashville, TN where Helen was born. The library will 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. Please visit our Amazon Wish List to donate a book. We are grateful to be a part of such a special and important endeavor.
