Thank you for donating this special bear in honour of your sweet baby Gregory Matthew Daniels. We were given this bear at the hospital after I gave birth to our son Leon and it has brought us comfort in this unbelievable difficult time. I’m so sorry that you had to go through it but thank you again for donating in memory of Gregory, he has made a difference.

Thank you for donating to bears of hope. Something so little makes such a large difference in a grieving families heart.

Sarah Juliette Hopkins 26/10/2026. We received your bear in November 2025 and have always thought of you as we’ve tried to navigate our own loss.

We want you to know the bear with your name will always be safe and we will always think of you and your family.

I’m sorry to us all for an experience as heart wrenching as this.

Sending love and hugs your way.

Sincerely, Jacinta, Jarrod and Baby P.

Today I opened my bereavement bag to find a little bear honouring little Margot. We lost our baby girl at 17 weeks on the weekend. Thank you for sending your love.

We recieved your bear when we lost our first baby.

We never knew the gender of our baby. One day they were here and healthy and the next day they weren’t.

Our baby was so loved and wanted and still is.

We went on to conceive twins, both very much wanted before welcoming our beautiful daughter.

Thank you for sharing the name of Alyza. We say her name just as we speak of our babies.

Thank you to Mateusz’s parents for sharing the bear of hope I received. My baby girl Angileen was only 23 weeks gestation and very tiny. The hurt of her not coming home with me, not being in my arms are hard. The sound of the quietness in a house that is supposed to have a baby girl’s cries are deafening. I don’t know how long it takes to heal or accept life as it is but I know that I share this pain with you and other parents who also didn’t get to rock their baby to sleep.

Receiving the Bears of Hope package meant so much to us. During such a difficult time, it brought comfort and reminded us that we were not alone.

It put a smile on my face when I needed it most, and I am truly grateful for the kindness, support, and care shown by everyone involved.

Thank you for helping families through some of their toughest moments.
