About the Foundation

The Aubrey Rose Foundation was founded in memory of our angel, Aubrey Rose. Aubrey was a very happy baby throughout everything she endured. In her honor, the foundation provides support and help for those who seek to be lifted from the complexities of life here on earth and to find greater happiness in those things that could be. Aubrey brought a great light into our lives.

Help us pass that light along.

Our Mission

is to help families caring for children with life-threatening illnesses with our focus being on the family unit. We strive to lift families from life’s complexities during this difficult time by providing emotional and financial support.

Our Philosophy
