Community Organisation providing comfort and acknowledgement to families affected by pregnancy,
baby and child loss by the provision of keepsakes.
baby and child loss by the provision of keepsakes.
I am that mother who sat in the room with my heart breaking as I heard those words "sorry there's no heartbeat"
I am that mother who had no emotional support,
I am that mother who had nothing tangible to acknowledge my precious baby,
I am that mother who had no scan photo either,
I am that mother who didn't get to bury my baby,
So now I help others like me by providing a Keepsake,
It might not seam like much, but to those who had nothing like me,
It's everything!

Bear for an angel was started by Michelle McGunnagle after her second loss and she received nothing tangible to acknowledge her precious baby Teagan, with her families help and support she began Bear for an Angel to offer keepsakes to families to offer a little bit of comfort after the devastation of baby loss.
what started as a small project for a family has now turned into a community project with a small group of bereaved families, now donating bags of hope to hospital epau's.
Currently we support three hospitals, Ipswich, Grimsby and Scunthorpe and continue to reach out to other hospitals in the hope of expanding our services so more families can be helped.
Our mission:
Our main objective is to donate Quinn's bags of hope to hospital early pregnancy assessment units to provide comfort and acknowledgement for early pregnancy loss.
To provide an emotional support network via our facebook and Twitter pages & eventually a local support group to ease the isolation of pregnancy and infant loss.
To connect grieving parents and families through our social media groups, with a view to allow members to support one another.
To raise awareness of pregnancy and infant loss through events, fundraising activities, campaigns, and wherever possible.
Michelle is passionate about pregnancy and infant loss and strives to see Quinn's Bags of hope in as many hospitals as possible,
Michelle believes no mother should go home without anything to physically hold to acknowledge their precious baby and their baby's precious short life.
