Vivienne's Joy Foundation

Vivienne's Joy Foundation We are a 501(c)(3) dedicated to bringing awareness to Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood, supporting other bereaved parents and bringing joy to others

Vivienne Claire Burgess was born on November 10, 2013. Vivienne was a joyful child that brought smiles and joy to so many people who knew her. She loved books, spending time with her big sister, Elianna, and playing with her friends at school. On November 12, 2016, our lives changed forever. After a fun Saturday celebrating our daughter Vivienne's 3rd birthday my husband, Wade​, put her to bed jus

t like every other night. About a half hour later I went in to check on her and give her a final goodnight kiss and found her not breathing. and unresponsive. I frantically tried to resuscitate Vivie until the the EMS arrived who were able regain a heartbeat. Vivienne was then rushed to Childrens hospital and put on life support . After exhausting all avenues to save her life, she was taken off of life support the next day as we lay next to her. Vivie's cause of death remains unknown and has been deemed Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood (SUDC). As we navigate this new world with Ellie we are desperate to find meaning and ensure we help others in Vivie's memory. VIvienne's Joy Foundation was established to meet this goal.

We are hosting an Emergency To-Go Bag event to support The Open Door Food Pantry. Our goal is to donate 50 bags which are filled with the core 5 items they have requested. I’ve created a sign up genius here to sign up for donations to drop off at my house. We will be collecting food this week and will pack the bags on Saturday.
