Embracing Grief with Weighted Comfort

Hamilton, Waikato

Our mission to bring comfort to grieving families that have lost a baby or child is in jeopardy. We're running low on funds and need your support in the hope to reach our $10,000 goal. With the help from generous donors, we can continue providing our cherished heart-shaped keepsakes, each lovingly weighted to a baby's birth weight.

The cost of materials, rice & courier have risen immensely and we are calling on help as we are nearly at a standstill and have 523 heart orders still to complete for January!

Each heart is handcrafted from scratch and averages to cost around $73 from materials to time.

In 2023 we sent out 2933 hearts NZ wide.

You can make a profound impact. Join us in ensuring that no family faces baby loss without the solace of a tangible keepsake. Every dollar directly supports the creation of these unique keepsakes and your generosity is the key to preserving precious memories.

Thank you for being the heartbeat of our cause.
