Alliance of Moms Founder Kelly Mckee Zajfen Opens Up About Loss of Son Georgie, 9, After Sudden Illness (Exclusive)


Alliance of Moms co-founder Kelly Mckee Zajfen shares in a moving first-person essay how she’s navigating the crushing grief and doing her best to live a life that would make her late son Georgie proud.

In 2022 Kelly McKee Zajfen, 44, the co-founder of Alliance of Moms, a non-profit that supports pregnant and parenting teens who are in the foster care system, had her world shattered when her bright and lively 9-year-old son Georgie suddenly contracted and succumbed to a viral illness. Now in a moving first-person essay, she opens up to PEOPLE exclusively about the crushing weight of the loss and how she and her family, including husband Julian and daughter Lily, are facing each day. Our big T-shirt campaign, which we launched April 3 (LOVE LIKE A MOTHER) will support our Health Teen Program at the Alliance of Moms, providing educational resources, doulas, mental and medical healthcare, stable housing and therapies for themselves and their children.
