“Nothing Can Dim the Light That Shines from Within.” ~Maya Angelou
Julia’s Light Foundation was created in memory of our daughter, Julia Grayce Acuna, who tragically died during childbirth on December 4, 2016.
The mission of Julia’s Light Foundation is to reduce the mortality rate of babies during birth by advocating for enhanced education on and awareness of potential complications during a vaginal birth after C-section (VBAC).
To honor the life of our daughter, who left too soon, we want to bring comfort and peace to children in need. Together, we can keep Julia’s light shining brightly and continue to give her beautiful life meaning.
The Wave of Light 2024
Julia’s Light focuses on helping support fellow loss families in the community by coming to together on Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day on Oct 15 each year. We honor our beautiful babies together and light candles, beaming our love up to the sky, reminding us that our babies’ matter, and we are not alone. Baby loss effects 1 in 4 families. This year we honored over 50 babies who are deeply loved and missed. We hope to see you next October 15th!

Shine a Light
Advocacy and Awareness
Our goal is to advocate for prenatal patients and spread awareness regarding complications during labor and delivery that result in newborn death. Our primary focus is to provide information to medical professionals and mothers who are undergoing a VBAC.
We want to shine a bright light on the risks and warning signs of uterine rupture to prevent this complication.
