Holding a Celebration?
About to celebrate a special day? Birthday, Anniversary, Graduation, Christening or Farewell? Whatever the milestone you’re marking, spread the love by creating a Make a Difference fundraising page.
As you invite your loved ones to celebrate with you, you may prefer to skip the gifts and ask them to make a donation to your page. It’ll be a special way to honour the occasion and together share the feeling of knowing you’ve helped to make a difference to parents grieving the loss of their baby.
Baby Keepsakes
Our Baby Keepsake books hold birth details and special mementos such as photos, hair clippings, hand and footprints.
This crucial support ensures that parents with the opportunity to see and hold their precious baby can create a lifetime of memories with this treasured keepsake – facilitating them through their time of grief and providing tangible and immediate acknowledgement and support.
You may like to create a Make a Difference fundraising page and for every $30 you raise, a Baby Keepsake book will be donated in honour of a baby close to you.
