Thank you so very much for this beautiful bear I received after losing my boy Elii Gidman at 32wks gestation on 15th August 2022 due to placental abruption.

The bear spent a lot of time with him before our final goodbyes and I’ve slept with this bear ever since. It’s brought some comfort in my time of grief. I am forever grateful for you and your family.

When I received my bears of hope bag at the hospital after finding out my daughter would be stillborn

Comments

I received my bear in honour of Mason O’Hara on the 1/9/22 when my waters broke at 20 weeks and I went into labour. My beautiful daughter Poppy was born the next day, and this bear has given me so much comfort in such a difficult time. once I got home I went straight onto the website and donated a bear in my daughter’s name, and I hope it brings another family the same comfort this bear brought me. Thank you for all that you do for families like mine.

Dear Sue and Colin
Thank you so much for our lovely little bear of hope, it was such a kind gift to receive.

It has been a really long and challenging journey these past few years, and having had multiple miscarriages has really made our dream of having a family hard to believe it will come true.

I know the soul of our little one is close by and one day we will hold our baby in our arms. The little bear of hope gives me hope and I know I am not alone at this challenging time.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts,
Sending so much love to you

I received a bear of hope in hospital after my beautiful son Flynn was born sleeping

Comments

I gave birth to my beautiful son Flynn at 24 weeks. He had heterotaxy and tetrology of fallot, my waters had also been broken for weeks, so I was slowly going into labour. Flynn was born sleeping. I received my bear of hope in honour of beautiful baby Kai Hunter Black. So thankful to know I am not alone and appreciate the comfort this bear offered to me and my family in the worst time of our lives. Lots of love xxx
