Story
On the 20th of August 2023 our world was turned upside down.
We arrived to the hospital, anticipating to meet our baby girl earlier than expected at 33 weeks. We were nervous but also so excited, knowing we were going to meet our baby boy or girl, and finally find out who it was that had been growing inside my belly.
A few short minutes later, we heard the words no parent should ever hear “ We are so sorry, but we cannot find a heart beat” our world crumbled, all our lives have been changed forever.
On the 23rd of August 2023, Elora Jane Keith was delivered into this world, still.
She was perfect, her beautiful hands, her button nose and her perfect little rosebud lips. She was met by us with such love, admiration and pride, the exact same way her big brother and sister were.
We were and still are utterly heart broken. We cannot understand why this pain has to be inflicted on anyone. We had the perfect pregnancy. Wondering how could of this have happened. But it did, we are now part of that unfortunate statistic.
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.
We 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. This reduces the worry or distress of separation to keep handing their baby back to staff.
We would love you to help us reach our goal of $6500, supporting this cause by making a donation of any amount, and please feel free to leave a message of support.
With all our love
Melissa, Alex, Stella, Fletcher & our Angel Elora 🧡🧡🧡
