Emily's story

Thank you for the opportunity to share my daughter, Emily's, tragic story. This does not get any easier, in fact even though over three years have gone by since her death, my life still seems so surreal. There is no pain greater than losing a child. My beautiful Emily's death was senseless and preventable. However, by establishing Emily's Foundation, I genuinely hope to prevent any other family from having to endure the pain that I live with every day. Read Emily's full story here.

  • Our mission

    The Emily Jerry Foundation has been established on the premise that each and every child born into this world is truly a miracle. With that thought in mind, we believe that every child on this planet should be treated and cared for as such.  Every baby that is born is truly a gift from God!  The core of the Emily Jerry Foundation focuses on protecting our nation’s babies and children from the all too redundant medical errors that keep occurring over and over again in hospitals across the nation.  These countless mistakes are killing our children and are most often avoidable. We are increasing public awareness of these issues and striving to get better legislation in place across the United States.  The Emily Jerry Foundation is helping to save countless lives, as well as, make our world-renowned medical facilities much safer.
