In memory of Baby Rainbird

By Maddie Mansfield

Every little life matters and deserves to be celebrated

I created this page for Say Their Name Day to raise funds for Red Nose so they can continue their important work supporting bereaved families across Australia.

If you can support my fundraiser, you will be helping to bring care and comfort to families when they need it most.

Every dollar raised helps support bereaved families by making sure every family has access to the information and networks they need to move forward and rebuild their lives, now and in the future. 

That means timely access to information resources, an understanding voice on the end of the phone, and an ongoing connection with other families through support groups and remembrance activities.

So please, help me raise much-needed funds to ensure every bereaved family has access to the support they need, for as long as they need it.

Thank you.

Honoring Lives, Raising Awareness: The SayTheirName Foundation's Impact on Pregnancy and Infant Loss

Tuesday 25th Mar
Pregnancy and infant loss are heartbreaking experiences that many families endure in silence, often without the support or understanding they need. The SayTheirName Foundation, is dedicated to shining a light on this often overlooked tragedy. Through advocacy, awareness, and support for those affected, the foundation offers a space for families to mourn, share their stories, and find hope in the midst of grief.

The Mission of SayTheirName Foundation
The SayTheirName Foundation was established with a powerful mission in mind: to provide resources, raise awareness, and ensure that every baby lost is remembered. The foundation emphasizes the importance of giving voice to those who are often forgotten in the conversation about pregnancy and infant loss. By advocating for more research and resources, SayTheirName helps to create a supportive community for grieving families and work toward changing the societal stigma surrounding this sensitive topic.

Why Awareness is Crucial
One of the core principles of the SayTheirName Foundation is to break the silence surrounding pregnancy and infant loss. In a society where discussions about loss and grief are often hushed, it can feel isolating for those who have lost a child. The foundation encourages people to acknowledge the lives of those babies who never had the chance to grow. This can be as simple as saying their name or creating a memorial, acts that hold deep healing power for grieving parents.

Resources for Support
In addition to raising awareness, the SayTheirName Foundation is committed to offering practical resources for families who are navigating the painful journey of pregnancy and infant loss. This includes counseling services, support groups, and educational tools to help parents and families understand their grief and find ways to heal. Through these resources, the foundation helps to bridge the gap between the pain of loss and the path toward recovery.

Raising a Collective Voice
As part of its advocacy efforts, the SayTheirName Foundation works to change healthcare policies, ensuring that parents who experience pregnancy or infant loss receive the compassionate care they need. They also collaborate with hospitals and healthcare providers to ensure that medical professionals are better trained in offering empathy and understanding in these situations. The foundation is also actively working to encourage public conversations about the realities of loss, so that society as a whole can offer more support and understanding.
