Story
In memory of our little boy
Zackary Easter.
On 31st May 2025, at 33 weeks gestation, we received the devestating news that no parent should ever have to hear. Zack's tiny heart had stopped beating.
Our beautiful son, was born sleeping on 4th June 2025 at 12:25pm. He means the world to us and was taken from our arms far too early.
We would like to make a difference to families in similar situations by raising funds to support Ipswich Baby Bearevement Group (IBBG) in Zack's name.
This is a local support network for families who have experienced the devastating loss of a baby. The group offers trauma-informed care, monthly peer support, memory-making resources, and staff training to help prevent and respond to baby loss with compassion and professionalism.
Ipswich Hospital staff & IBBG supported us wonderfully during this incredibly difficult time. The memory making and on-going support is immeasurable and we truely appricate everything they have done for us.
Examples of donations to help fund meaningful support, including:
£6–£8 – A remembrance candle for the annual Wave of Light event in October
£10 – A hand-in-heart keyring gifted to grieving families
£15 – A rainbow pregnancy gift to honour a new baby while remembering their sibling
£15 - Memory-making items and Saying Goodbye books for families
£45 – A bespoke engraved leaf on the Tree of Remembrance in Holywells Park
£60 – A wellness massage with a trauma expert to aid emotional healing
£75 – Training for a staff member in specialist bereavement care
£150 – A 3D casting of a baby’s hand and foot as a cherished keepsake
£200 – Repatriation costs for families when a baby dies in another hospital
