The project aims to create 50 memory boxes in support of families grieving the passing of a newborn baby or for one born sleeping at GV Base Hospital.
The locally handcrafted wooden boxes will provide a strong, large and secure place for families to store a collection of precious keepsakes. The box will contain a specially designed photo album, angel gown, Bear of Hope, plaster kit to capture hand and foot prints, candle, handmade patchwork quilt and a book titled “On the night you were born”.
It is given with love by the community in acknowledgement of their beautiful baby.
The two local families driving this project know first-hand the grief of losing a baby. They also know how much their own Memory Boxes and special keepsakes have helped them, as well as their other children and extended family, preserve the memory of their child and survive their grief.
They are keen to ‘pay forward’ the beautiful boxes that they received and ensure those who experience the loss of a baby at GV Health have the same access to Memory Boxes as those in Metro Hospitals.
It is also a show of community support. “Your baby matters to us"

Wish someone had thought of this type of thing when I lost my baby
I wish so too Jenni. There are so many women that have told us this in our journey to making this. We hope we can make a difference moving forward for these families
