After almost 10 months of waiting after a rough pregnancy with hyperemesis, my partner and I finally met our beautiful daughter Amelia Rae earthside on the evening of 29th August this year. Sadly, we had to say goodbye to our very loved and wanted Amelia Rae at just 4 days old. After a week long stay at the hospital following a c-section under GA, I walked out of the hospital without my baby. I received a bear in loving memory of Huxley at the hospital, and held on tightly to the bear the whole car ride home. So to the parents of Huxley, thank you.

Our precious Noah was born sleeping at 24 weeks. We are so grateful for all the incredible organisations we have discovered in this process that have made this impossible situation that little bit more bearable. It helps to know that we aren’t alone.

Sending love to all the families who have angels in the sky.

Thank you for donating this special bear in honour of Luca. I am so sorry for your loss. I have carried the bear with me as a comfort after my baby girl, Bonnie Heather Clarke, was born peacefully sleeping. I’m so sorry that we share this unbelievable heartbreak and pain. Luca’s bear has reminded me I am not alone in this journey, so thank you. Sending love and strength to you. xxx

The message is for the beautiful parents of Valentina Juric, firstly I want to say I’m truly sorry for your loss. The teddybear you donated in honour of your precious baby Valentina has definitely made a big impact on me. After losing my son through a Neonatal birth at just 22 weeks. I received a special bag with a teddybear inside. Once I opened the tag and read the message with your baby’s name, I was sad but yet comforted in the fact I was not alone. This little bear sat inside my baby boy’s (Josiah) cot throughout my time in hospital. Almost like his protector. This teddybear now sits next to my sons Urn. The tag with your baby’s
name Valentina Juric will stay attached to this teddybear forever. I thankyou for donating this bear and helping me to get through the most difficult time of my life. ❤

We lost our beautiful Zoey at 23 weeks in July 2023. It has been the toughest time for our family but perhaps the hardest for my 7 year old daughter Zara. Receiving your best of hope has really meant the world to her and she treasures the bear and the love it brings her in place of the sister she never got to bring home. From the bottom of our hearts thank you 💜

To the parents and family of Hudson S. Words cannot express the pain that comes with the loss of a baby. The bear donated on behalf of your son has kept me and my baby Leo company when we were in hospital and now stays with me at home, sleeps with me and is always kept warm and wrapped up. Thank you.
