Ella's Soapbox is committed to making safe, natural soap and to helping understand the causes of anencephaly and neural tube defects. We donate 10% of our profits to anencephaly research and to non-profits dedicated to supporting families during and after pregnancy and infant loss.
I got on stage five months after Ella died to tell people that she was here. I continued to share her beauty through soapmaking and telling her story at markets. In this space, so many people shared, cried, and loved and I knew that the platform of Ella's Soapbox did not belong to me.
In sharing my daughter, I have met so many other loss families, and with love, I have asked to share their babies and their stories.
Each of our soap bars is named after another baby who is loved and remembered. We invite you to read about them, remember them, know that they were here. And know that no matter how long, or how long ago, their tiny hearts beat, they made a difference.
2025 was my first full year back to Ella's Soapbox after a 2-year break. The rebuilding and reimagining that started in August 2024 continues as I move into 2026. Donations in 2025 included:
- Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep$400
- PKD Foundation$200
- March of Dimes$200
- Well of Grace Ministries$200
- Bronson NICU$200
- Halos of the St. Croix Valley$200
- Room 423 Bibles$200
As Ella's Soapbox grows, and the families I meet continue to change my life, new ways to honor these precious lives become apparent.
For their birth months, I've asked these families which non-profit would be most meaningful to them and in addition to the 10% we donate to anencephaly research and pregnancy and infant loss support, we will donate $2 for every bar of the baby's soap sold during his or her birth month.
See our birthday calendar and beneficiaries here. <3
In 2025, $1,600 was donated in memory of these precious babies to non-profit organizations chosen by their parents.
