Light up the night and walk with the stars for LFMNT

Alisha Ó Doibhilin is raising money for Little Forget Me Nots Trust
In memory of Lochlann Quinn
Donations cannot currently be made to this page
Sadly our founder, Louise Taylor, lost her first born, Ruben, in the middle of her pregnancy. Struggling to find support after her loss, she turned to alternative ways to keep her mind focused and away from the heavy thoughts that come after a child loss.  The aims of the LFMNT is to grow the access to support services for bereaved families. We promote art therapy, either individual or group sessions. We want our families to develop coping mechanisms after their trauma. Each person or families will have a different approach but we at the LFMNT have established a relationship with other local bereaved mums and volunteers who want to help raise awareness and help deliver the aims of the Trust. Last year we developed relationships with Northern Irelands finest art therapists. They can see the vision for this charity and helped design a pilot project that engaged 10 bereaved families and 30 individuals to our alternative approach.  Our plan for 2022 is to work with another 10 bereaved families and provide them with art therapy sessions.   The support we are able to offer families can only grow if we continue to raise funds. Our hopes and dreams for the LFMNTs are huge, and we know we will achieve so much more over the next few years.  We are excited to be in a position to be working to help change Northern Ireland's lack of alternative practical support for bereaved parents.

Story

LittleForgetMeNotsTrust helped myself and many other families through the darkest days and continue to support us through the good and bad ones.

The work they do with families affected by the loss of a child is amazing, helping parents and siblings navigate through their grief in alternative ways, and bringing awareness to the wider community about the struggles families face after baby loss.

This will be the 2nd year of Light up the night and walk with the stars and Lochlann's 4th birthday.

Last year we had a lovely turn out, despite the snow and cold it warmed my heart to see so many people supporting us, and remembering those precious children spending Christmas in the stars and not around their families Christmas trees.

We hope even more people can join us in our walk this year and show their support.

The work that LFMNT do couldn't happen without the support from our community, so any donations big or small would be greatly appreciated.
