Hello,
I’m not sure how to start this letter but I just want to say I am so sorry about your babies. I will forever think our babies are playing together. When we lost our little bean on the 21st of May 2023 and I was given your bear I felt so comforted knowing that somewhere out there our babies are playing together. I really do feel that this bear was meant for me. I have Williams in my family and seeing your family name gave my such goosebumps I couldn’t get rid of. The back of my hairs always stand up when I remind myself. I am so appreciative that this bear came to me at place where I am so lost. I hope your future was kind to you because you deserve all the happiness in the world. My fiancé and I want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for donating this beautiful bear that I can always hold. I hope one day we walk pass each other and get the sense that we know each other in someway. I will always think of you and your babies.

Hi there
Thank you for the bear CocoNutt.
My partner and I experienced a miscarriage three weeks ago. I was 19 weeks but the baby had stopped at 13 so I had a D&C surgery. He had already descended whole right before the surgery, but got stuck so I didn’t see anything, so they were able to send him off for autopsy, donate his organs, and then cremate him. We hope the autopsy and organ donation can maybe help other parents.
It has been a hard journey but nice to have the support from the Bears of Hope.
Good luck with your journey.

Although I never got to meet my baby nor even get to see a scan I was beyond devastated with the loss of my first pregnancy. I am 19 and my partner and I were so excited to meet our precious angel. We thank the parents who donated our baby bear and I will take care of your beloved baby. Thank you bears of hope 🩷

We received Niamh’s bear when we lost our baby girl Rosie at 32 weeks 24th May 2022. We lost her due to a suspected cord accident. The past year has been rough. We have just given birth to her rainbow baby brother Eli. I’m sure he was a gift from her.

Dear family of Aliya, we are grateful for your care and support for our family through the gift of your bear. Our baby girl Sienna was born at 21 weeks 9th March 2023. We think beautiful Aliya whenever we see the bear. Our 19 month old son Theo also loves to cuddle the bear. It doesn’t replace his sister but it is comforting knowing there is love and support from others who have been through something similar. Praying for healing for your family. Love Alice, Aidan & Theo.
