Words can not express how thankful we are for our bear and all of the support. We lost our beautiful Daphne Sky on the 22nd March 2022.

I just wanted to send this family a big virtual hug.
Today, at 15 weeks, I lost my little baby.
I have not been able to let this little bear go – it’s bringing so much comfort to me and my partner.
We are sending you lots of love.

Our heart goes out to Sophie and her parents, it’s been so nice to know we aren’t alone. I’m sure our babies knew how loved they were xxx

Dear Ocfemia family,

Both your family and our family have lost someone that we have never met but dearly love and miss. However, Hamburger and I have gained a bear of Hope from your family.

It was a surprise to receive a gift, but a deeply touching gesture. It honoured the life that Axel would have had on earth. Making him real and not just a memory.

This sux.

Love,

Hamburger and Shaz

One bear was given to our angel bub Leo, who was stillborn at 25 weeks and stayed with him to give him comfort.
My husband and I received another to give us comfort, tagged in honour of Flora who passed in 2021 and it is so sweet. All we need to do is look at this bear to find comfort and know our Leo isn’t far. We look forward to giving this bear to our hopeful future child.
Thank you to the Bears of Hope team and to Flora’s parents for your generosity and kindness.
May our Leo and your Flora be playing, high in the sky over that rainbow.

Our Bear of Hopes gift bag was gifted to us in hospital with a beautiful bear tagged in honour of Michael Francis O’Connor born in 2017.
We decided the bear would stay with our angel bub, Leo, stillborn at 25 weeks on 3/6/22 to keep him comfort.
It was the most heartwarming thing to receive.
On behalf of my husband and I, thank you from the bottom of our hearts to Michael’s parents for donating the gift bag and to the Bear of Hopes team.
May our angel bubs play together, somewhere high in the sky over that rainbow.

Your angel comforted me and my husband when our little boy (Theo Brown) joined her at 26 weeks gestation on the 31.01.2022.
We will forever be grateful for this gift of hope 💕
