Links and Resources

Here is a list of links that we have found helpful to the families we serve in our region. UNITE strives to help each parent that contact us with literature, group meetings and phone support. However, sometimes it is more comforting if support comes from closer to home. We have also included some links to sites that may help if you live outside the Philadelphia area.

The Tears Foundation
The TEARS Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that seeks to compassionately lift a financial burden from families who have lost a baby by providing funds to assist with the cost of burial or cremation services.
We believe that every baby's life deserves to be honored and memorialized in accordance with the grieving parents' wishes and are committed to helping bereaved parents with this experience.
We also believe that every grieving parent deserves access to ongoing bereavement support. Therefore, we also offer parents comprehensive bereavement care in the form of grief support groups and peer companions.
