We received our beautiful bear in honour of Gus at the birth of our beautiful boy Edward May. When I read the tag for this first time it brought such comfort in knowing Edward already had friends waiting for him and he was not alone. Knowing we too aren’t alone in this journey has bought my family a lot of comfort but also sadness that other families too are heart broken. Edward’s big brother Oliver loves giving the bear cuddles too and please know that Gus memory is very much apart of our families story too. Sending all the to our beautiful boys, always in our hearts.

Thank you to Bobby’s family for this beautiful bear. No one should ever lose a child, I am still coming to terms with my own loss. One day I hope to give back on my baby’s behalf the way that you have done.

Thank you to the family who donated this bear of hope. The little bear is kept beside our bed every night.

It’s been a very difficult time for us. My husband and I have been together for over 10 years (married in our early 20s) and began the exciting process of planning for our family. Sadly on our first pregnancy journey we had our 12 week scan and found out our baby passed away. The donated bear of hope is a reminder to us how important every life is, no matter how small they are. We aren’t sure when our baby passed after the 8 weeks, but it was truly special the amount of joy this little baby brought to our lives and our friends and families lives.

I would just like to say thank you to the beautiful family of Jasper Tory that has kindly donated this beautiful bear. It has gotten me through some very difficult times when I first lost my little boy. I now keep this little bear under my pillow and have it with me every night when I go to sleep. Having the bear is a heartfelt reminder of my little boy whom I have lost and it keeps me connected to him. ❤️❤️

Thank you to the very kind family of Isabelle for sending us this bear. We received the bear in hospital after our daughter Holly passed away, and it still provides a soft and sweet way of remembering our brave and beautiful girl, who we miss every day. We have donated bears so that future families are able to receive the comfort we appreciated so much.

Thank you very much for your donation. My husband and i received Violet’s bear in early December 2023 after we lost our first baby at 7 weeks.
It have been extremely hard for the both of us and your donation has brought us some comfort. We have our bear on shelf in our bedroom so we can see it everyday and remember our baby and the compassion of others.

Thank you so much again and im so sorry for the loss of little Violet xx
