One Hour. Endless Love. In Memory of Rosa Elizabeth.

In November 2025, our family experienced the most heartbreaking loss. My beautiful niece, Rosa, was born and, just over one hour later, she sadly passed away.

In that short time, she was deeply loved. She was held, cherished, and welcomed into a family that had been waiting for her with so much hope. Though her life was brief, Rosa changed ours forever.

No family ever imagines having to say goodbye so soon. The shock and pain of losing a baby is something no words can truly capture. But even in the midst of grief, we’ve seen how important compassion, understanding, and support can be.

That’s why I’m raising money for Sands (Stillbirth and Neonatal Death Society).

Sands provides vital support for families who experience the devastating loss of a baby. They offer bereavement support, helplines, resources, and work tirelessly to improve care and fund research to reduce the number of babies who die each year. No one should have to face this kind of heartbreak alone.

This fundraiser is in loving memory of Rosa — a tiny, precious life who left a lasting imprint on our hearts. Though her time with us was short, her impact will last a lifetime.

If you feel able to donate or share this page, it would mean more than words can say. By supporting this fundraiser, you are helping ensure that other families receive the care and understanding they need during unimaginable grief.

Thank you for helping us honour Rosa’s memory and turn our heartbreak into hope for others. 💛
