Toni Tattis - Hunter Region

A Mother, a Primary School Teacher and Co-Manager for Bears Of Hope. After four years of falling pregnant naturally and losing all seven babies, five from miscarriages - Rhys, Jordyn, twins Cooper & Kaitlyn, and James and identical twins-Jacinta & Madelin at 24 weeks on 3rd November 2003, I now have a beautiful five year old daughter. Bears Of Hope has allowed me to acknowledge and honour each of my babies in a precious and memorable way that has contributed incredibly to my healing. It has also encouraged strength within and the ability to never give up hope, aiding in my desire to help others. I have drawn great comfort from the many beautiful connections I've made over the years. I can only wish that those who are sadly touched by our program, that you too never give up hope.

Amanda Bowles - North West Sydney

I am a wife & mum to 2 boys and a baby girl on earth and an angel in Heaven ~Jesse Buttons~ born 19th January 2006. After losing ~Jesse~ I resigned from a successful career with Flight Centre as a Manager & Area Leader. Through Bears Of Hope I have found a passion to help others & educate the community in the impact that a loss through pregnancy or infancy has on a family. I am thrilled to manage the program with Toni in honour of my son and have began studies in Professional Counselling to extend that professional support through the program after graduation. May you always have hope in your heart.

Kylie Pace - North West Sydney

I am a wife to a wonderful husband and mum to 2 precious Angel Boys. Jesse Jay born at 16 weeks gestation on 16.06.2007 & Jamie Vic born at 21 weeks on 18.06.2008. The amazing support I have found through Bears Of Hope has played such a huge part in my journey after losing our precious boys. I am so thankful for the support I did and continue to receive and I am truly honoured to be involved in such a wonderful organisation. I hope to make my boys proud as I endeavour to support others walking the same path in life. Sending love, strength and support to all.

Kylie Raftery

Wife and mum to ~Sophie Cleo~ born 32 weeks on 14th December 2008. After losing ~Sophie~ I gave up my corporate job of 10 years and have now started working with my husband. Our loss helped us to focus on what we consider the important things in life. Bears of Hope have been a tremendous help to my husband and I since we lost out little girl. We have also seen the positive impact it has made on other families we have met who have also lost precious children. Our ‘Bluey’ bear remains with us as a reminder of Sophie. I am honoured and privileged to be a part of such a wonderful program.

Lynn Jenkins - North West Sydney

Wife and mum to 2 boys and 1 girl, a 22 month old son, a 5 month old daughter and our angel, Cooper Nathan, born 28th November 2006. I have not returned to work since losing Cooper and now concentrate my time on raising my children and helping others that are travelling a similar path to me. I am honoured that Amanda and Toni asked me to be involved with Bears Of Hope in memory of Cooper. Helping others helps me to cope with my loss and I hope that I can continue to support others as we travel down this devastating and heartbreaking path together.
