Your kindness will make a world of difference in helping to reduce the isolation for those who are facing this unimaginable heartache.
Write your Will for 50% off
Bears Of Hope has partnered with Safewill, Australia’s leading online Will-writing platform enabling you to create a personalised and legally binding Will in as little as 20 minutes.
We are offering our supporters the opportunity to write your Will for $80 (usually $160). Once you have taken care of your loved ones we hope you would consider supporting the work of Bears Of Hope. By leaving a small gift, you’ll play a crucial role in providing ongoing support services, timely resources and community support events to families after the loss of their baby.
“My wife and I lost our baby boy Oliver in 2014. He was stillborn at 28 weeks.
As like most other families we were given a bear to take home from the hospital and we still have that bear in his memory display. We still take the bear on holidays or when we do big trips away from home.
Not long after leaving the hospital we attended counselling sessions ran by bears of hope and still have life long friends we met in the group. Bears of hope was such a massive support to us especially in the first few years of grieving.
We decided to gift in our Will because we wanted all of our children to have a share in our legacy and Bears of Hope is our way of gifting Oliver and hopefully support many more families the way we were supported.
So a big thank you to you and your wonderful team for helping us get through tough times.”

A Legacy of love
Leaving a legacy of love is one of the most profound ways to impact the world around you. When you prioritise love in your actions, words, and choices, you create a ripple effect that extends far beyond your own lifetime. It serves as a beacon of hope and a testament to the values that you hold dear, guiding future generations toward a more harmonious and caring world, and grieving families to more connection and accessible support.
Gifts in Wills are deeply thoughtful for ensuring the vital work that Bears Of Hope does, continues. No matter the size, a gift can help families navigate their heartbreak, and their future, without their baby.
Gifts can take many forms including:
- The residue or percentage of the Estate
- A specific amount of money
- Assets
Safewill’s online platform offers a convenient and affordable solution for all Australians and each Will undergoes a thorough review by Australian legal advisors to ensure they are legally sound and binding.
Alternatively, if you are writing or updating your Will through other avenues, we welcome your consideration to leave a bequest and help Bears Of Hope in the future.
Let us know
There is no legal obligation to notify us of your intended gift. However, if you choose to let us know we can:
- Plan for the expansion of current support services to bridge further gaps and meet the needs of bereaved families
- Plan for future resources, programs and support initiatives
- Keep you updated with our annual programs, fundraising, events and achievements.
All communication is kept confidential.
