Non profit organisation providing comfort and acknowledgement to families affected by pregnancy, 
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!

Our slogan is "comfort in a cuddle".

Our bears are a cuddly companion to hug; to fill empty arms and help grieving hearts to find comfort in acknowledging the lives of their precious baby who has is so sadly gone too soon.

​A sound device containing a heartbeat or message, a scent chip, a vibrating heart, a few ashes or a keepsake can be added inside the bear.

Beyond our bears we offer an emotional support network via social media in which bereaved parents and families can connect with each other and help each other through their grieving.
