Precious Wings Fundraising

Hi friends & family ❤️

With Maddy's birthday coming up, we've created a little donation page through Precious Wings, who have played a big part in both ours and Maddy's journey. 

Precious Wings provide the most special memory boxes to families who have lost babies and children. They're the reason we have things like Maddy's handprints & footprints, but they're also the reason we've been able to connect with other loss parents. Each box created is sent out in memory of some very special children, and it warms our hearts to know that Maddy's name goes out into the world and is shared with other families. It's one of the beautiful ways we love to keep her memory alive. 

A $100 donation covers the cost of one memory box (including the keepsake items inside). A $25 donation covers the cost of a miscarriage memory bag. There's absolutely no expectation to donate, but if you'd like to do something for Maddy's birthday, we'd love for you to join us in donating here. 

Love T & T 

xoxo

Precious Wings

Precious Wings' purpose is to:

• provide love, hope, understanding and support to families facing the devastating loss of their child.
• ensure all families who have lost a child have a feeling of ‘not being alone’ when leaving hospital with empty arms, and that they receive the support they need to navigate this difficult grief journey.

Precious Wings:

• provides Queensland hospitals with memory boxes to give to families whose babies or children pass away from any cause from 16 weeks gestation up to 18 years of age,
• provides miscarriage bags to Queensland hospitals for losses from 5 – 16 weeks gestation,
• enables bereaved parents to create their own boxes in memory of their own child to supply their local hospitals, an immensely healing process and means each box is made with love and understanding. Families are able to utilise our Precious Wings Headquarters in Windsor to bring their community together (family, friends, workplace, school community etc) to make memory boxes in honour of their child.
• supports 'beyond the box' by running peer support programs and support groups including memory box making facilitated by a qualified counsellor, yoga, art therapy.
• provides education to health professionals, funeral homes and other groups on caring for bereaved families and the use of memory boxes.

All our services are provided free of charge.
