Resource Packs for Rose
~"Although you'll never leave footprints on this world,
you've left them on our hearts." ~
On the 18th July 2010 our hearts were broken and our lives changed forever.
Rose Marcia Exten Ellerton was born and with us for a very short time before passing away.
Now we would like to honour her memory in a way that will ensure she will never be forgotten and her name will continue to be spoken by all known or unknown.
All funds raised through this page will go directly towards purchasing Teddy Love Club Resource Packs that will be donated to as many maternity wards as possible Australia wide.
These will be given to parents who go through the same sad loss as we have and realise they are not alone in their grief. They will read on the inside of their Resource Pack that it has been donated in the beautiful memory of ~Rose Marcia~
Our goal is $600 - this figure is based on how much each Resource Pack costs x 27. This is how many weeks gestation Rose was when she was born (and unfortunately our son Richard also born still 03/09/2009 at 27 weeks).
****We are so thankful that this target was met so we have now decided to raise double that in honour of our son Richard also**** (12/09/10)
****Now that has been reached also - so the sky is the limit now. Why not, our babies are worth it -
Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone below and your generous donation**** (13/09/10)
So again thank you from the bottom of our hearts in helping us achieve this.
Teddy Love Club Pregnancy and Infant Loss Support
Teddy Love Club Pregnancy and Infant Loss Support is an Australia wide support program for bereaved families who suffer the loss of their baby or babies at any time during pregnancy or after birth. This includes miscarriage, stillbirth, termination of pregnancy for foetal abnormality and neonatal death.
The TLC program is the original bear giving program in Australia established 26th October 2002 in Adelaide. TLC operates in every state of Australia with the program provided to every maternity hospital across the country.

TLC donates traditional Teddy Bears to bereaved parents, in the hope the bear may help to ease the pain of leaving the hospital with such aching empty arms.
