Dear Poppy Ruth’s family,

There are moments when words simply aren’t enough, yet your gift spoke directly to my heart.

Thank you for sharing this little bear in honour of your precious daughter. Through your kindness, Poppy Ruth’s love reached another mother who has just had to say goodbye to her own little girl.

My daughter, Alma Luz, was deeply loved, and although our time together was far too short, she changed my life forever. Your generosity reminds me that the love we have for our children doesn’t end—it continues through acts of compassion like yours.

I will treasure this bear always, and whenever I hold it, I will think of both of our daughters—two little girls whose lives, though brief, left an everlasting mark on this world.

Thank you for helping me feel a little less alone.

With love and gratitude,
Luisa

We are the Faulkner family, and we received this beautiful Bear of Hope during our time in hospital with our precious baby boy, Archer.

Archer was born sleeping on 29 December 2025, and this bear brought us comfort and kindness during one of the hardest moments of our lives. We are incredibly grateful to Blair’s family for donating this bear and allowing it to bring comfort to another family experiencing unimaginable heartbreak.

This bear will forever be a special part of Archer’s story, and we hope Blair’s memory continues to be carried with love through the comfort it provides to families like ours.
