A mothers worst nightmare, grieving the loss of her three babies, tragically taken too soon.

  • One year on, wear bright in memory 🩵💚🩷

      27 October 2026

    It’s hard to believe almost a year has passed without our precious darlings August, Hugo, Goldie and dog Marlo.

    This has been an incredibly hard year for Chelsey. Losing your children is a heartbreak no mum should ever have to experience, and the reality of facing each day without them is something words can never fully capture. They are missed in the big moments and the little ones, in everyday life and in all the milestones they should still be here to share. They were, and always will be, so deeply loved.

    We would like to thank everyone who has continued to show kindness, love and generosity. Every message, thoughtful gesture and donation has meant so much, helping remind Chelsey that she and her darlings have not been forgotten ♥️

    🌈♥️ On 15 November, we wear bright. Wherever you are in the world, we invite you to wear something bright for August, Hugo, Goldie and Marlo, celebrating their precious lives and keeping their light shining.

    Forever loved, forever missed, forever Chelsey’s darlings.

    🩵💚🩷🤍

    Chelsey wanted to personally thank you all for the generosity, kind messages and support you have all given her over the past month. She reads your messages, she feels your love and she knows she has so many people out there who care for her.

      I can not even begin to imagine the depth of sorrow you are going through, know that so many people are praying for you to be held up and comforted at this incredibly sad time! All of New Zealand is standing with you and sending you so much love to comfort and surround you.

    It is with the deepest gratitude when we say Thank you/Kia Ora, Friends, Family and what feels like the whole of Aotearoa, New Zealand. For the outpour of such immediate generous financial support, the beautiful messages of love, thoughts and prayers, and the community spirit that you all have created for our friend. No amount of money will ever be enough to heal the wounds left in her heart and soul, but to have this safety net to rebuild her life, knowing what feels like the whole of Aotearoa is with her, and how you have all contributed to this outpouring of love in so many ways is more than we could’ve ever hoped for.
