The Story of James Jerome Pollock

Learn more about the story of our nonprofit’s namesake, James, from our founders Cody and Sierra Pollock

About Us and James’ Story

James’ Triumph was founded by Sierra and Cody Pollock. Their son James Jerome was stillborn on August 20th, 2025 just 5 weeks before his due date. There were no issues with the pregnancy or any other pre-existing conditions that would have given any signs or concerns of stillbirth.

During pregnancy, they were not informed of any of the possibilities of complications or issues such as stillbirth and were never notified what to do by their OBGYN if they had any concerns about their baby or to do any counting of kicks or tracking of the baby’s movement. You can read more about James’ Story and their time at the hospital in the blog posts here.

Following their loss of James they wanted to come up with a way to actively support other families who have experienced this loss and provide Biblical support on how to work through this terrible grief. They want to be a light in this darkness and help people work through and learn to live with their grief, but never move on from or forget their sweet baby in heaven.

Courtney joined our mission after she and her husband experienced a miscarriage with their first pregnancy. She was disappointed in the healthcare system’s lack of education and support during such a heartbreaking time. Courtney is passionate and dedicated to raising awareness about pregnancy loss and helping educate others. It is her prayer that she can use the story of her angel baby to empathize with and support other families on a deeper level.

Our Mission and Vision:

James’ Triumph exists to help support families who have been affected by miscarriage, stillbirth and infant loss (up to 1yr old). We strive to help support families with Biblical resources. We hope to not only bring awareness to the leading causes of these tragedies, but help families know and understand the healing that only faith in Jesus Christ can bring.

Vision: To bring awareness and support to those who have experienced miscarriage, stillbirth and infant loss. Emphasizing the fact that human life and value begins at conception.

Ways We Support Families:

1. Grief Support

We can help provide grief group referrals or mentorships, faith based books, journals and help connecting you with a therapist or counselor if you need one. We are in the process of setting up grief groups that meet regularly. If you are interested in joining, please reach out.

2. Gift Boxes

We put together grief boxes to give to local Labor and Delivery hospitals, OBGYN clinics and mail directly to families who have experienced a loss. Gift boxes contain grief books for mom and dad, a blanket, stuffed animal and a few other items to help families work through their grief and have a few small tangible memories of thier child in Heaven.

3. Medical Bill Relief Grants

We can help with medical bills related to your loss. There are other state funded programs and assistance, but some famiklies may not qualify for this aid. We believe a family should not have to go home empty handed and be finanically burdened from their hostpial visit. Please contact us on our “Get in Touch” page for next steps and an application.

4. James Jerome Pollock Memorial Scholarship

We provide a scholarship for K-12 Christian education for students with siblings who are in heaven. Families in need can learn more about this opportunity and apply for aid HERE
