Stillborn And Infant Loss Support-SAILS

Stillborn And Infant Loss Support (SAILS) Inc., non-profit was created in November 2017. Our mission is to improve the mental health and well-being of families who experience miscarriage, stillbirth and other pregnancy losses. We do this through community building, education, mentorship and support groups. 

Stillborn And Infant Loss Support (SAILS), traces its roots back to a deeply personal journey of loss and resilience. Founded on November 13, 2017, our mission emerged from the profound grief experienced by our Founder, Sadija, following the stillbirth of her daughter Ivyanna Salene on the same date in 2003. Ivyanna's name, meaning "heartbeat," symbolizes the enduring legacy of love and hope that continues to inspire our work.

Conveniently situated in the heart of Old Towne Laurel, our service area extends to Prince George's County, Maryland, and its surrounding communities. Located just 21 miles from both Baltimore and Washington, DC, Laurel serves as a central hub for our compassionate assistance and resources. From this strategic location, we offer support to families, individuals, and practitioners affected by miscarriage, stillbirth, and infant loss. Understanding the diverse needs of our community, we ensure our services are easily accessible to all seeking solace and understanding during their time of grief. Together, we stand united in our commitment to nurturing healing, resilience, and hope within our local community and beyond.
