Story

<p>Aching Arms was set up in memory of our son James. He was born too soon at 23 weeks in May 2009. Tragically, his life was too brief but the joy he gave us in those precious 23 weeks will never be forgotten. I had big dreams for my child and without him I was lost. Until I starting reaching out to other bereaved mothers.</p> <p>Together we set out to create a charity to help bereaved mothers cope with the emotional and mental distress of losing a much wanted child. We all work to honour the memory of our babies and help others cope with their tragic loss. Setting up Aching Arms has helped us heal and create something beautiful out of such sadness. Please help us to continue to help others.</p> <p>Please give a &pound;3, &pound;13, &pound;23, &pound;33 or &pound;333 in honour of James' 3rd anniversary on 14th May.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
