for Child Safety

Born from pain, dedicated to purpose

Mission Statement

In memory of Raphaella

Raphaella's Story

The Raphaella Foundation for Child Safety was founded in loving memory of Raphaella, a vibrant and joyful little girl whose life was tragically cut short due to negligence at a school swimming pool. Her story is not just a heartbreaking loss—it is a call to action.

This foundation exists to honor her memory by transforming pain into purpose. We are dedicated to raising awareness, educating caregivers, advocating for stronger safety policies, and ensuring that every child is given the secure environment they deserve—especially in schools and childcare facilities.

"Raphaella's light continues to shine through every child we help protect, every policy we help strengthen, and every life we help save."

Our Promise

We will continue to speak, act, and advocate—so no other parent has to walk the path of loss we have. Raphaella's name will not only be remembered, it will be the reason many children are kept safe.

Every child deserves to come home safely. Every parent deserves peace of mind. Every school should be a sanctuary of learning and protection.
