LEON'S STORY

"Those last memories that you have are precious and they can only be made once."

Leon got to hold his newborn baby son in his arms for just three hours before Ezra sadly passed away. And knowing that he wouldn't be taking his baby home, like all of the other parents he saw around him, made his hospital experience unbearable.

Woodland House will create a private, safe and calm environment, away from the hustle and bustle of the wards, so that our bereaved parents can spend precious time with their loved ones before they feel ready to face the world again.

Watch as Leon talks about how having Woodland House would’ve made his heartbreaking experience slightly less stressful.

LYNETTE'S STORY

"When you're in that bubble, all you want to do is talk about it."

Breaking the silence and taboo around pregnancy and baby loss is a key aim of our Woodland House Appeal, as we create a space that will provide a safe and calm environment to give families the confidence to talk openly and honestly about their feelings and emotions in their time of need. Watch this video as mum Lynette talks about how having that haven to receive specialist support for her grief, would have changed her experience.
