Khairi and Little Angels’ Memorial (KLA Memorial) is a 501 (c ) (3) nonprofit organization that is a dedicated maternal resource organization specializing in assisting single mothers and couples during their pregnancy journey in underserved communities, as well as individuals seeking maternal mental health care. Our services range from childbirth classes to essential mental health support and more. Additionally, we offer infant burial services for families who require assistance. Our primary goal is to ensure a healthy outcome for our clients and their loved ones.
KLA Memorial has three essential programs for women and families in Alabama.
I. Pre- and postnatal resources.
II. Mental health and wellness support.
III. Infant burial assistance from 20 weeks to 12 months.
Infant and Maternal Awareness
Over the past decade, U.S. infant mortality rates have been staggering at times and it is still a major issue many families face. We aim to increase awareness so that no one has to face such a life-altering loss. Being educated before becoming pregnant is one of the most important things women can do. However, preconception is often forgotten.
Educate
We are dedicated to equipping women in their childbearing years with the essential knowledge for a joyous and healthy birthing experience. Our all-encompassing education program spans from prenatal care to postpartum assistance. Through our childbirth education classes, we ensure that expectant mothers are well-prepared with the necessary information on pregnancy and delivery. We firmly believe in empowering women to advocate for themselves and confidently express their needs during this transformative journey.
It is vital for women to be educated, especially during the critical times of childbirth, where many women of color face higher rates of maternal and infant crises. We strive to ensure that every woman seeking assistance is well-informed and receives the necessary support before, during, and after childbirth.
Burial Support
The infant burial support offered by KLA Memorial aims to alleviate financial struggles and emotional burdens for mothers and their families during the difficult time of losing a child. Many are not aware that there is no infant burial insurance for infants under 30 days. However, we recognize the immense financial strain that many families face when having to lay their infant to rest. For some, this cost could push them to the brink of homelessness. Our assistance is designed to prevent additional hardships for families and keep them on stable ground. It’s important to remember that burying an infant can be just as costly as burying an adult and it doesn’t matter the age an infant is when they are called home the family is still hurt from the loss.
Healing Support
Having a reliable support system by your side during tough times is crucial, especially when navigating through grief. Grief can come in many forms such as the loss of a job, a marriage ending in divorce, the loss of dependence among other situations. Therefore, surrounding yourself with the right people can make all the difference in your healing process. At KLA Memorial, we are dedicated to providing our families with the necessary coping techniques to guide them toward a healthier and happier life. We offer counseling and support groups. It is important to choose a support system that motivates you positively and embark on your journey towards healing with us.
Your donations are important.
Understanding the vital role of nonprofit organizations is essential for businesses and individuals alike. These organizations provide crucial support and resources that many businesses are unable to offer on their own. Donating to nonprofits is crucial as it enables them to continue running their programs and serving their communities.
Nonprofit organizations rely on a variety of funding sources, including individual donations, grants, and fundraisers. However, monetary donations are not the only way to support these organizations. You can also contribute your time, skills, and ideas to make a difference.
By giving back to nonprofits, you are amplifying their impact and helping them create positive change in the world.

I think KLA memorial is an amazing organization assisting families in need who loss their babies and they can’t give their sweet angel a proper burial.
On July 28th 2024 I loss my sweet baby boy Ar’Mon unexpectedly at 9 days old i wasn’t working at the time and didn’t have the finances to give my baby a funeral and that was devastating but the grieve counselor gave me Tomeka’s number and everything got a little bit easier talking to her and hearing her story made me realize i wasn’t alone and that there are other mothers and families out here like me and mine . She helped me bury my son peacefully I didn’t have to stress any more about how and what I wasn’t gonna do and I thank her for that cause it wouldn’t have been possible without her organizations supports I honestly don’t know what I would have done if KLA memorial didn’t help me in my time of need. I’ve never experienced this before and to have that kind of support is a blessing.
Thank you so much from the Cash family.

1. What do you think about Khairi and Little Angels’ Memorial? It's great, and also a big help to a lot of women/ families including myself.
2. How did Khairi and Little Angels’ Memorial assist you? By helping me with cremation to where I can keep my son ashes, unlike the hospital UAB Medical Weat I was at but when I asked they were the ones whom referred me to Ms. Tamika so I had to reach out .
3. What would you have done if Khairi and Little Angels’ Memorial didn’t assist you in your time of need? To be honest I really have no idea, having my son already deceased in me at 7 months, and still having to push him out and not being able to give him a proper burial....All I can say is I am very thankful, grateful, blessed because through all the pain I have my son with me..My own personal angel 😇.

I thank Khairi and Little Angels are the best.
They helped me at my time of need by covering all expenses for my baby girls funeral. They also comfort me during that hard time . I absolutely love them. I honestly don’t know what I would have done without them in such little time I had.

Khairi has helped me out a lot, I was so depressed that I didn’t have any money to bury my son and they helped me so much. I’m forever grateful and thankful for them. If they didn’t help my son would have been cremated. I was broken because I had other kids to take over. I didn’t have insurance because I never thought it would happen to me. Just know I’m grateful. I will do anything you need me to do because you didn’t have to help but did.

1. I think KLA memorial is something that should be nationwide. A lot of families go through these tragedies and KLA memorial helps to get through those traumatic experiences.
2. KLA helped assist me when I lost my daughter A’journi at 5 months pregnant. I was lost and confused and hurt. I went from planning a baby shower to planning a funeral. KLA helped with the burial because I didn’t want to burn my precious baby. Now I have a place where I can go talk to her whenever I need to.
3. If KLA wasn’t able to assist me in my time of need, my mental would have been worse. I didn’t want to give them my baby because at the time UAB did not give you the ashes and it was during Covid.
