Alana's Foundation was founded in 2009 in memory of Alana Yaksich, who died at 5 yrs. of age on February 3, 2003 of influenza.

Our programs and activities support our mission "To prevent deaths caused by influenza, a vaccine preventable disease and provide support for families whose child has died from any illness."

Who We Are

We provide influenza education and awareness with a focus on offering convenient and affordable flu vaccination options.  In addition, we serve as a resource for families that have experienced the death of a child due to any cause.

 

We are 100% volunteer run, relying solely on donations from private individuals and businesses.

FAMILY SUPPORT

Since there is no possible way to predict how any one family will handle the loss of a child, we serve as a resource for support that may include references for grief counseling, short term financial support or assistance in fulfilling basic day to day needs.
