In loving memory...

By Marsha Burgess

I do not wish for my donation to appear on the memory wall.

Every little life matters and deserves to be celebrated

I created this page for Say Their Name Day to raise funds for Sands and 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.

My Updates

Thomas William

Wednesday 9th Mar
I started this campaign page because there is not enough awareness about pregnancy, miscarriage and infant loss. I was naive before I lost Thomas. I had no idea how special a live child really is. 

I never in a million years worried about having a stillborn. I knew I had chances of miscarriage and thought I'd manage it well. Never did I ever consider the fear of losing my baby.

Thomas died from a true knot in his cord. It was wound tightly around his body with a very tight knit near the placenta. I've been told it's very rare of HOW it happened but cord accidents are common. Ridiculously common.

I wanted to share this to raise money for bereaved parents to get the support they need because while I have tonnes around me, some don't.

Thank you to anyone and everyone who donates in honour of my boy.

Thank you to my Supporters

Not a day goes by where Thomas is not thought of hundreds times and where tears do not run. We miss his sweet face and wish upon wish that God would have changed your story and allowed Thomas to be here in life.
