I had a difficult pregnancy with Joshua due to a sub chorionic haematoma that caused me to bleed heavily from week 11 to when he was born. Joshy was tiny but mighty, he was very determined to overcome the haematoma, but unfortunately it (the clot) was just too big and on the evening of 19 Jan 2025 Joshy became quite distressed in utero and my medical team recommended emergency c section. Joshy showed his sheer determination, and despite being only 462 grams held on in NiCU for 3 days. On the 22nd Jan, the medical team informed us in there clincal words that went over my head- he was just too tiny and had succumbed to sepsis and pulmonary hypotension and we made the heartbreaking decision to give him a cuddle and say our final goodbyes. We never received a Bears of Hope bear, so some months after our loss, I bought a bear for myself, which my 5 year old, Stephen then claimed haha! Stephen sleeps with the bear every night and wishes Joshua was here as much as we do. I do give the bear a cuddle sometimes too. Thank you bears of hope for all that you do xx

Your Angel Bear has been well cuddled and gets adventures.
It has become my Kolty Angel Bear. It has become my emotional support bear and goes on adventures with me because thats all I hoped to do with my babes.
I lost my boy Koltyn Daniel Watson Hayes on 19-12-25 at 15 days old from an unknown infection. I hope our babes have become friends and going on their own adventures together too.

We lost our baby girl Ava at 24 weeks old, 13.03.2026. A family member gave us a bear and package full of recourses and it meant so much to me and my family. I’ll be lighting a candle for baby Santiago 13/05. The bear sits with Ava who is now home with us.

If this reaches baby Santiago’s family, I’m sorry for the loss of your precious baby. Thank you for giving my family comfort at the time of ours ❤️

On the 24-3-2026 our world was turned upside down. What was meant to be the happiest few months of our lives suddenly came to stop. At 12 weeks and 4 days we lost our baby girl to turner sydrome. As much as we are heartbroken we know we are not alone thanks to the bears of hope program.

We are so very touched to receive a bear in honor of Zoe, at such a heartbreakingly, difficult time. We lost our baby, Little Gem at 20 weeks a few weeks ago. To receive such a personal gift feels like the biggest warm hug and the resources provided really help trying to navigate where to from here.

Thank you for creating a beautiful care package, our baby wasn’t old enough to memorialise by name but having a small keep sake to remember them by will hold a special place in my heart.
