Thank you so much for sending us a bear of hope. We lost our baby Priya, 5 weeks ago and got to spend 6 weeks of her life knowing her and loving her. We are devastated for our loss. The bear you sent will comfort us, when we especially miss our little one. Thank you so much!

Our angel baby Emilio Gunn was born sleeping on 09/07/2024 at 24 weeks.

Sending our love to dear baby Herbert and his family. Herbert’s teddy bear is sitting next to Emilio’s spot in our house, keeping him company here, and where angels play.

Mummy & Daddy love you deeply Emilio.

We received our special little bear during our hospital stay. I had an ectopic pregnancy in my fallopian tube at 7 weeks and had it surgically removed, losing my fallopian tube during the process. It was our first baby after trying to conceive for 2 years. This little bear has made this heart breaking time feel a little comfort and I will cherish it dearly and always remember my baby and yours.

We lost our Lucy at 10 days old to Spinal Muscular Atrophy type 0. Not that any age makes it easier, but I am only 23 myself, and this bear now provides so much comfort to us at home and I give her a cuddle every night. Thank you so much for your donation that ended with us having this bear. Nothing will ease the loss of our girl, but little things like this make her feel closer to us ❤️

We thank Chloe Maree’s parents for their generosity. Upon receiving Chloe Maree’s bear we felt less alone and are comforted by their support.
May your darling daughter, Chloe Maree, rest in eternal peace. We are so sorry for your loss.

On the 30th of May, 26 + 3 weeks along, we had our Baby boy Oskar. He unfortunately was sleeping, as he came into this world. He had so much love around him and his parents had so much support around them. Oskar was a fighter and battled the whole way through, his journey. Even through the scary times. We know that he is watching over the family and especially his parents, everyday. The bear that we received at the hospital, made us feel less alone and felt supported through this tough time in our life. The bear is placed in the room, which would have been Oskar’s. When we go into the room and look at the bear, it makes us remember that their are other parents who have gone through a similar situation. We will always love you and will never forget you.

To the Zammit Family,

We are so sorry for your loss.
Thank you for your kind donation of a Bears of Hope package. We received a bear in honour of Jake after the passing of our first born, Fletch Arnold Pannell. Fletch was born still on July 5th 2023 at 39 weeks.
We are grateful to have received your bear, and hope you find comfort in knowing it has reached our family and has helped us through the darkest of days.
We were thinking of you all on Jake’s 21st birthday last year, and sending you all so much love.

Thank you again.

Mike and Sarah

Thank you to the Merchant family for passing on the gift of Bears of Hope to us.
Our bear came to us on the second day of being in hospital, Aimee was right on time and a positive light during an exceptionally dark time. To know we weren’t alone at this time provided huge comfort and a feeling of strong support from afar.
