Laura's fundraiser for Winston's Wish

Laura Brooker is raising money for Child Bereavement UK
In memory of Ruby Brooker
We offer free, UK-wide, accessible online grief support to children and young people (up to 25) who are bereaved or facing the death of someone important, and the parents and carers of babies and children who are dying or have died.

Story

Next month will be Ruby's 5th birthday, so we are raising money for Winston’s Wish in her memory!

Our second daughter, Ruby, was born sleeping on the 4th March 2021. This was truly the hardest thing we as a family have ever had to face, firstly losing our beautiful angel who we had so many plans for, and secondly our hearts broke for our daughter Lily who had been so excited to be a big sister & even more so when we found out she’d have a little sister!

Since Ruby was born sleeping we have been regularly donating Hampers to the Bereavement Suites at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital in her memory to support other parents who sadly go through the loss of their baby.

For Ruby’s birthday this year we would like to do something a bit different and raise money for a charity that has provided much needed support for her big sister, Lily! Lily has also decided she would like to do a bike ride in honour of Ruby 🚴‍♀️💖

Thank you so much for taking the time to read our story & for any support you can offer! Any contribution will make an impact, no matter how big or small, so thank you!

Laura, Rob & Lily ♥

PS. we've included some information about Winston’s Wish below:

Every day across the UK, children and young people lose someone significant to them. The death of someone important can be the most traumatic experience a child or young person will ever face.

Winston’s Wish relies on voluntary charitable donations to support children and their families following the death of a parent, sibling or important person. Since 1992, they have helped tens of thousands of bereaved children and young people and, with your help, can help tens of thousands more during the most difficult time of their lives.
