Story
Our beautiful daughter Max was born sleeping on the 30th of May 2023 at 38 weeks gestation.
In honour of her 1st birthday, Nick, Perry and I are fundraising for a cuddle cot to be donated to an Australian hospital, funeral home or hospice 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. After Max's birth, with the help of one of these, we spent 4 wonderful days with her as a family, she slept by our side every night. We were given the opportunity to cuddle her, bath her, dress her and memorise every detail of her.
Before losing Max, we had never heard of a cuddle cot nor did we realise how expensive they are. We though the best way to celebrate her 1st birthday was to allow another family an opportunity with this. Many families experience the loss of their baby in Australia each year. It is an incredibly heartbreaking and traumatic time for parents - a time when they require loving support and care.
Our goal is to raise $6500*, to provide others with the same opportunity we are so grateful to have had. Your support in making a donation of any amount means the world to us.
Nick, Elly, Perry & Max
