The TEARS Foundation is a local 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that seeks to compassionately assist bereaved parents with the financial expenses they face in making final arrangements for their precious baby who has died. Many of the founders and volunteers at The TEARS Foundation have experienced the loss of their own baby, and want to reach out in this way to support newly bereaved parents in their time of devastating sorrow.
The Charlie & Braden Project is inspired in memory of Charlie & Braden Powell, who lived in the community of The TEARS Foundation. The TEARS Foundation hopes to reach out to families who face the tragic, unexpected death of their child and offer to lift a financial burden by assisting them with their child’s funeral expenses.

We rely on generous donations from caring people in order to have sufficient funds on hand to offer assistance as requested. Donate to the Charlie & Braden Project today and we will send you a "Charlie & Braden Project" bracelet in the mail!
