The Raphaella Foundation
for Child Safety
Born from pain, dedicated to purpose
Mission Statement
To advocate for and safeguard the lives of young children by promoting awareness, education, and accountability in child safety—ensuring no child is lost due to preventable negligence.
Vision
A world where every child is protected, every caregiver is informed, and every school is a haven of safety and care.
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.
