Thank you so much for your thoughtful gift. I’m sorry for your loss. I was gifted this bear because I had a missed miscarriage in May. This was my first pregnancy and I never thought I could love a baby so much, who was still so young and small and who I only knew for a few short weeks. I never had any symptoms of miscarriage or reason to suspect something was wrong. I had my first ultrasound at 8 weeks and it showed my baby to be only the size of 6 weeks and with no heartbeat. We waited two more weeks in case the dates had been wrong but unfortunately the next ultrasound showed that this was not the case. I don’t know what your circumstances were but I know that whatever the case it must have been the saddest time in your life. I hope that you were able to heal, and I hope that I can heal too. Our babies will be forever in our hearts.

We lost our son, Alex Archer, in January this year and received our ‘bear of hope’ last month. Six months on, the event still remains devastating and difficult to deal with. We are very thankful for the extremely thoughtful actions of the couple who donated it to us in honour of Alex. They went through their own trauma and their kind words, wishes, and fellowship are so deeply appreciated. Alex the bear has taken pride of place with Alex Archer on a shelf, together with his mementos. We view them every day. Thanks again to the marvelous couple and my deepest sympathies to everyone who has had to undergo such pain.

At 37 weeks pregnant with our first child, We received the horrible news that our little boys heart had stopped beating. It was the worst day of our lives, it is something so heart crushing and numbing, that no one should have to go through. We were given a Bears of Hope bag with Lewis's bear, it was comforting knowing we weren't alone in this journey and something we could cuddle.

Our little boy, Tate Oliver Cruse was born 4 days later on the 31st May 2022, he was absolutely perfect in every way.

Thanks to Bears of Hope we were lucky enough to have a cuddle cot available to spend precious time with our boy.

This is an amazing charity that needs more attention and awareness. I am deeply sorry for the loss of sweet Lewis.

To the family of ‘James Felton’ , we are honoured to have received the bear. Our ‘Zorawar’ was still born on 1/06/2022 and we received the bear very next day. We are humbled and it’s comforting to know we have a community of people who cares. My warm regards to the ‘Felton’ family.
