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 💜

We received this bear on 2/1/23 when we lost our son Jacob James Armstrong, born at 17 weeks gestation. We are so grateful and our bear has brought great comfort to our family, especially our two living daughters.

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.

I cannot thank the Ginn family enough for this beautiful gift. This bear has kept me sane since losing my baby Harper after 24hrs labour on 14th March at 23w+2d, born still. I cuddle my ‘Harper’ bear whenever I am sad. Thankyou again xx

I am so sorry to the family of Elliot and to those who are in the position of being in this group. Our baby girl was born last week at 21 weeks and we are beside ourselves. The bear sits in my older daughters bedroom as a reminder of the love she has for her baby sister Jasmine.
