about the tiana foundation:
my friends rhonda & jason started the tiana foundation to help parents who have lost children to neonatal or early infant death…
here is there story…
On March 18, 2002 I went into labor with my second daughter, Tiana Rose Velez. As I began my labor, the doctors discovered that Tiana’s heart was not pumping correctly and I was taken in for an emergency C-Section, hoping that once she was delivered, they could help her heart condition and save her. 2 1/2 hours after delivery, Tiana passed away. It has been an extremely difficult time for us. Because of our love for Tiana and our belief that she was sent here for a reason, my husband and I want to help others that are experiencing the deep grief and loss of a child. We have dreams for our children even before they are born and in an instant our dreams are shattered.
We remember that day as if it were yesterday. If it had not been for a very supportive family and wonderful friends, it would have been the loneliest and most stressful time in our lives. We started The Tiana Foundation to help parents during this difficult time. We believe that every child should have a gravestone. That is why we want to help parents who can’t afford to memorialize their child who were here such a short time and left a lasting impression upon their hearts.

The Tiana Foundation is partnered with California Monumental in San Jose California. When a child passes away, the local hospital social worker or private party contacts us. The foundation will contact California Monumental to request a voucher. At this time we are able to distribute between $150-$300 per family (depending upon the need). The voucher will then be redeemable upon the family’s order for their child’s memorial marker.
YOU DON’T HAVE TO LIVE IN THE AREA TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR A VOUCHER.
If you live outside the Bay Area or California, we will work with either California Monumental or a monumental in your area to ensure that you receive a memorial marker for your child.
It is the hope of The Tiana Foundation that we will be able to provide greater financial assistance as “From The Heart Bath & Body” prospers and contributions are received.
