In Memory of Ellie

Story

On the 2nd of May, 2018 my beautiful niece Ellie Morgan Yakimov was born sleeping. It was a devastating time for our family and we feel her missing presence daily. As her second birthday approaches we would like to raise funds to purchase a cuddle cot in her memory. The cuddle cot allowed us to meet Ellie, spend time with her and make very treasured memories. While there are no positives in stillbirth, I am grateful for the love that floods my heart every time I think of Ellie and the moments I spent with her. Jaz, Alex and Jordan, and Ellies new baby brother Asher are a testament to resilience and love. 

Please help us in providing this lasting legacy to soften the devastating edges of loss for other families who experience stillbirth.

 

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.

I am fundraising for a cuddle cot to be donated to an Australian hospital, 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. This reduces the worry or distress of separation to keep handing their baby back to hospital staff to be cooled in a traditional cooling room away from them.

I would love you to help me reach my goal, supporting this cause by making a donation of any amount, and please feel free to leave a message of support.
