The TEARS Foundation was started in 2002 by its Founder, Sarah Slack. Sarah and her husband, Sanford, experienced the stillbirth of their son, Jesse Curtis Slack on November 14, 2000. Through the loss of her son, Sarah decided to turn her tragedy into an opportunity to reach out to other families who have lost a baby and make a positive impact in her community.
Since its inception, The TEARS Foundation has served hundreds of families in need with both financial and emotional support services. The vision for The TEARS Foundation is to meet a national need and provide its program across the U.S.
If you are interested in getting involved with The TEARS Foundation in your local community, please contact our office at 253-200-0944 or email us at office@thetearsfoundation.org.
