Ryan Jon McDonald - Bears of Hope
We opened this fund raising page to help bring awareness to stillbirth and more importantly raise funds for Bears Of Hope who offer support and guidance for parents who experience the loss of their baby during pregnancy, birth or infancy in their time of need.
For every $25 we raise bears of hope will donate support kits and bears of hope to hospitals and families who suffer a loss of a baby. Each bear will be named in honor of our beautiful baby boy Ryan Jon McDonald who was stillborn on 17th September 2010 at 6:43pm weighing 3.920kg (7lb 4oz) and was 51cm long.
Ryan we love you so much!! xoxoxox Mummy (Tara), Daddy (Jason), your big brothers Kaileb and Aidan and younger sister Zoe.
