We invite you to take part in this meaningful and beautiful campaign of remembrance by donating a Bear of Hope and dedicating a flower in honour of your precious baby — or in honour of a friend’s baby who is forever loved and missed. This is a gentle way to acknowledge their enduring place in your heart, while extending compassion to another family experiencing the unimaginable. Through your gift, your baby’s memory helps light the way for others, leaving a lasting legacy of love.
Your $35 donation (save $15) 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 choices 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.
