Mission: Enable low-income families to give their children a dignified burial; empower communities to memorialize children who have died; educate parents and children’s caregivers to confront, control and conquer the primary risks to our children’s health and wholeness; and encourage communities to recognize the financial trauma which is often associated with the death of a child.
Because Every Child is Unforgettable…
For many families, the anguish and heartbreak of a child’s death is accompanied by the additional burden of financial incapacity. The simple truth is that they are unable to afford a dignified, respectful burial for their beloved child. During a decade of clinical ministry to children and their families, Timothy Evans saw this firsthand and assisted these families with the many crises surrounding the death of a child. The devastating impact it left on family members inspired him to found a non-profit in 1999 dedicated to helping those who lost a child.
Assisted by Inland Empire educators, medical professionals, social workers and morticians, Timothy created The Unforgettables Foundation. Their mission is to enable low-income families to give their children a dignified burial; empower communities to memorialize children who have died; educate parents and children’s caregivers to confront, control and conquer the primary risks to our children’s health and wholeness; and encourage communities to recognize the financial trauma which is often associated with the death of a child.
Guided on its path for almost 15 years, The Unforgettables Foundation has helped thousands of families in over 80 southern California cities find comfort in giving their children a dignified burial. They recognize the importance of honoring a beloved child in the proper way, and ensure that each one is “unforgettable.”
Statistics:
- The average funeral cost is between $3,500 and $8,000.
- The average burial cost is between $99 and $1,500.
- Since 2000, The Unforgettables Foundation has helped over 3000 families in southern California.
