Story

As most of you are aware, on the 29th of January this year, our gorgeous, 3.9kg baby girl Amara was born at full term with no signs of distress. Tragically, for reasons we will never know or understand, our little angel only stayed with us for 6 hours on this earth before she grew her wings. All in one moment, our beautiful little baby was born, and then whisked away. What we thought was going to be one of the most beautiful days of our lives, turned into a nightmare that has devastated our lives forever. 

Devastatingly, just like us, Many families experience the loss of their baby in Australia each year. It is an incredibly heartbreaking, life changing and traumatic time for parents. 

I am fundraising for a cuddle cot to be donated to an Australian hospital in Amaras name, to support bereaved families in those crucial days after the loss of their baby.  A cuddle cot is a cooling system that lays beneath the baby within a bassinet. It enables families to keep their baby close and create beautiful memories, spending as much time as they wish with their baby, before saying goodbye. Without this, I would not have been able to spend those precious hours with our baby girl after she grew her wings, these are the only memories we have. They will be treasured by us forever.

I would love you to help me reach my goal of $6500 by the 29th of January 2021, the one year anniversary of Amaras death, to support this cause by making a donation of any amount. It would mean so much To us to be able to donate a cuddle cot in her name, as a gift for other families going  through this devastation as there are sadly many hospitals without access to one of these, which means that many families are missing out on this crucial time with their precious little babies. 

Thankyou from the bottom of our hearts.
