We invite you to donate a bear of hope and dedicate a flower in remembrance of your own precious baby or on behalf of a friend in honour of their baby; leaving a lasting legacy of love.
Your $35 donation (usually $50) will fund our early support initiative where we donate a bear of hope and resources to families across Australia within days of their loss.
The bear of hope, donated from one family to another, allows the donating family to give their child's brief life purpose and lasting legacy, whilst filling the arms of another as they walk out of the hospital without their baby. It reinforces the understanding that they are not alone and that there is an existing community of support available.
Through these resources, parents are acknowledged, comforted and guided through their grief. They are empowered with vital information before they leave the hospital to minimise any regrets around spending time and creating memories with their baby. These packages provide an immediate link to a community of support providing parents with options and a place to start. We understand how crucial it is for parents to feel supported from the very beginning of their loss to facilitate their grieving and healing journey forward.
