Memorial Garden for our Daughters
To build a garden in memory of our Daughter who we lost in August this year.
Auckland
This page has been set up to help raise funds towards a beautiful memorial garden in memory of our two little angels.
We lost our beautiful daughter River Park, on the 31st of August this year at a tiny 16 weeks old. Our little angel was perfectly formed with gorgeous little hands, feet, fingers, toes and eyes, and we miss her dearly and would love to do something to honor her memory,
A few days before River was born, for some unknown reason, my waters broke, I lost a lot of blood, and had to stay in hospital for a week until our beautiful baby decided to make an appearance. We still do not know what went wrong or why we lost her, and to say it has been hard is an understatement.
A few months after this, we fell pregnant, and were overwhelmed with happiness, this was going to be our little miracle. Unfortunately this pregnancy also ended in a loss in a similar way. At an emergency ultrasound on 27-2-2018 we found out our babies sac had burst and there was no longer a heartbeat. At a tiny 10 weeks, we had lost our second child. We are completely devastated and lost, with no answers as to why this has happened again.
This is so important to us.
I would absolutely love to raise some money to continue on with our indoor memorial corner, but more specifically to start on a memorial garden. Some place we can go to visit to be with our daughter in spirit especially when we are down and missing her.
I dont expect this get any donations, but at the very least I would love it if people would read this and just remember our daughters names, to keep her memory alive.

A few months after we lost River, we fell pregnant, and were overwhelmed with happiness, this was going to be our little miracle, our rainbow baby. Unfortunately this pregnancy also ended in a loss. At an emergency ultrasound on 27-2-2018 we found out our babies sac had burst and there was no longer a heartbeat. At a tiny 10 weeks, we had lost our second child. We are completely devastated and lost, with no answers as to why this has happened again. The name we have given our recent little angel is Winter Park.
This garden will now be built in memory of both of our angels and is just so important.
Progress on funds is slow, our initial goal of having the garden built this summer was unrealistic, and we are now aiming to have the garden built in the next couple of years.
For the plans we have we are going to need a lot of support and help. We have been saving what we can every week, but every dollar donated is so appreciated and is a massive help, this is going to be an expensive project but I have many ideas and plan to gather names and dates of other angel babies and include their memory into the garden too <3
