VIVE Foundation is a non-profit organization whose purpose is to honor vaccine injury victims and their families by creating awareness and striving to provide comfort and information.

Helping Vaccine Injury Victims Everywhere

 VIVE Foundation's Inspiration
 
VIVE Foundation was created to honor my two daughters. Alana and Lydia experienced adverse reactions after receiving a vaccine in the summer of 2007. The injuries that resulted were devastating to them and completely took over our lives. After months of illness and many prayers, we finally figured out what had happened to Alana and Lydia. Through my research I found that vaccine injuries happen most frequently to children; they are frequently misdiagnosed; and (as with my daughters) a person may suffer for months, or even years before the real cause of their illness is discovered. In the meantime, the cost of care and treatment can be overwhelming, not to mention the fear and concern that takes over when you cannot find the cause of your love one's illness.
 
After communicating with mothers of other injured children and hearing every one of their heartbreaking stories, I wanted to do something - anything to help others dealing with this type of injury. Early one Sunday morning I woke up with the inspiration to create VIVE Foundation. With God's will, VIVE will be a source of support for those affected by a vaccine injury.

Vaccines - Good or Bad?
 
 
VIVE Foundation neither supports nor opposes vaccines. The Foundation will always recommend that all consumers make informed health care choices and will always support a parent or individual's right to choose whether or not to vaccinate.
 
VIVE simply recognizes that vaccine injuries CAN and DO happen. We know this not only from personal experience, but typically prior to receiving a vaccine the patient (or parent) needs to give consent by signing a form that states the type of injuries or side effects that may occur. In addition, the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act was signed into law in 1989, whereby the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the U.S. Court of Federal Claims and the Department of Justice (DOJ) all recognize that vaccine injuries occur.
