I'm making a difference by fundraising for Bears of Hope Pregnancy & Infant Loss Support. Bears of Hope aims to comfort, acknowledge, empower, and guide families. 

This fundraiser is in memory of our beautiful girl, Jasmine. Jasmine was born at 21 weeks and passed soon after birth. Jasmine is a much-loved daughter of Rebecca & Jeremy’s, a baby sister to Ella & Connor, and a loved niece, grandchild and cousin. 

Friends and family have asked us how they can support us - and this is how - help us raise over $6500 for a cuddle cot.  

Money being raised will support Bears of Hope to provide much needed cuddle cots to hospitals. A cuddle cot is a specially modified cot with an inbuilt cooling system. This means families whose babies were born still or pass soon after birth can spend more time with their babies before they have to say their final goodbyes. Once the money is raised, Bears of Hope will work with us to determine the hospital most in need for the cot, and organise a plaque in Jasmine's memory.  

 In addition to cuddle cots, any money raised over $6500 will support Bears of Hope provide counselling and crucial resources to help families navigate this heartbreaking time. In Australia, one in four pregnancies end in loss. As many as 100,000 new families may need support each year. 

 Please support my efforts by making a secure online donation and by posting a message of support. Your support of any amount is gratefully appreciated to help keep their services fee-free and together we can make that difference for families in need.
