We received our bear of hope pack on 18/11/2020, the day we lost our darling baby girl Aayla Saffa. No words can describe our sadness. The five hours she was with us, was the best time ever in our life. We would like David’s parents to know that the bear of hope donated by them in honor of David gave us comfort while we grieve for our loss, we are grateful to receive the bear. We know that we are not alone and have the support of those who have walk through this sad path. (Lokman dan Diana, Hobart)

It’s hard to find the words to describe how thankful we are to have received a Bear of Hope pack when we lost our beautiful baby boy Thomas Ray Swilks at 20 weeks on the 12/11/2020. Our Bear was donated in honour of Charlotte 8/12/2012, we are forever grateful to Charlotte’s family for gifting us with this bear in her memory so that we have something to hold when we remember our sweet little man. I know that Thomas will always be with us in our hearts and our thoughts.

Thomas Ray we love you always and forever xxxx Mum, Dad, and big sisters Alice & Ivy xxxxx

Receiving this beautiful package and bear from “bears of hope” was so heart touching at such a devastating time. Losing baby Patrick was so sad but my angel baby taught me the world and so much about love. I send my love to the parents of Molly Rose. We are united through our precious babies. Thank you bears of hope for what you do, it means the world. Sending love, strength and healing to all the families who have dealt with such profound loss and to all the beautiful Angel babies looking over us. Forever loved and forever grateful. Xx

We were so lost when we lost our baby girl Pip, bears of hope gave us a sense of direction, where to look for help as well as listening to people’s stories. Thank you so much for guidance us in this dark time.

Thank you so much for the bear. Our baby Wyatt was born sleeping at 19 weeks 27/10/2020 and our beautiful Midwife gave us your bear. I slept with it during my hospital stay after we said goodbye, it now sits on his change table in his nursery and I cuddle it when I sit in there to think of him or when I’m having a bad day. It is very treasured and I thank you for donating it. My thoughts are with you and your family xxx

I was devastated when I lost my baby boy, Ryan Garland, on 2nd Nov 2012. Your bear that honours Rhys, has been sitting, wrapped in a baby blanket with my baby boy Ryan’s papoose ever since I lost him. I get on with life, like we all do but at this time of year, around the date I lost Ryan, I allow myself time to recognise the trauma and sadness and loss, as well as finding special things, to add to his papoose, which honour or represent things that he could have found joy in today.
Every year I bring Ryan’s Papoose out…and every year Rhys’s bear is beside him. Your beautiful gift of a bear of hope helped me through a very dark and sad place. I am so very grateful for your kindness. Thank you for your bear of hope. Rhys has enabled me to share my story and hopefully give hope to others

To Nate’s mum and dad, I am sorry for your loss. And thank you for donating this bear in your baby’s honour. This was received in our box to take home, on Christmas Eve after I had our second baby born sleeping. It has become a true treasure, and is now cherished by our new 7 month old rainbow baby – it sits in her cot and I feel it is her brother watching over her.
